Secant line a circle in the Euclidean plane, a line joining two of them would be a 2-secant (or "bisecant") and a line passing through only one of them would be a 1-secant (or "unisecant"). A unisecant in this example need not be a tangent line to the circle. This terminology is often used in incidence geometry and discrete geometry. For instance, the Sylvester–Gallai theorem of incidence geometry states that if points of Euclidean geometry are not collinear then there must exist a 2-secant of them. And the original orchard-planting problem of discrete geometry asks for a bound on the number of
This Is Not A Theatre Company feel so guilty sometimes about having so much privilege, it still beats the alternative, right? The overall tone, to the credit of director Erin B. Mee, helps the show maintain a sort of 'whistling past the guillotine' balance between the obvious (yeah, we're privileged, so what) and the unsettling (but we – us in this room – not just the bankers – are actually living the kind of life that can bring about a revolution from its underclass, which should perhaps cause us more concern than it does). For me, the second point was the more interesting one – I
