    • Quotes
      • [first lines]
      • Himself - Host: Good evening. Have you ever had a premonition? A feeling that something dreadful was about to happen? I mentioned that, obviously, because tonight's play is about a young man named Kim Stanger. About his strange homecoming, and of the mystery he found when he arrived. Follow him if you will, as he attempts to unravel this mystery, hindered at every step by his friends, and haunted always by a vague sense of foreboding. This story is appropriately entitled "Premonition." I defy you to guess the nature of Kim Stanger's premonition, although we shall give you numerous clues in the prologue, which we now present immediately.
