Any questions as to the selection of objects on the plinth, is answered by the film, which shows us a range of theatre professionals, against a black background. Each is telling a story whilst holding and playing with a particular object. The narrative told by the custodian, is the history of the object, its significance in certain productions, how the object was found and variously the performing life of the thing, whether a poodle, a cat, a unicorn, an umbrella, a chair or flying pig. Some of the stories are read, others performed, but all speak to the significance and emotional connection to the thing, sometimes poignant and at other times humorous. The status of the thing its-self is in question.
