Old Compton Street, Soho, London were dysected, analysed and mometarely paralysed as weve extracted the DNA of the city...henced refered to as Extract (C) ity.
The qualities between characters and their experiences and attitudes were classified as fixes and the indexed as drug catogories of Class A, B, C and Legal.
The extracted DNA were them preserved between the two street scenes of Old Compton Road below the
natural street level as an invisible within the form of a table. Why a table you might ask.?..simple
For centuries everything in Soho, right up to this point in time has evolved around the table as a basic form.
Strippers dancing on tables, cofee at tables and bussiness deals around tables.
The Queen Anne legs makes reference to the old furniture factory within Soho but as pointed out by a witty character: "Queen Annes legs are now around Prince Albert neck! Hope you all enjoy it.
