About this title: A play comprised of a series of monologues by two men and one woman. Each story enfolds the others, and illuminates yet also obscures them. Howard is Judy's father, and Jack her husband. Jack is clearly lower on the social scale than the other two, but in the end he is the survivor.

"Along with Adorno's Minima Moralia, Brecht's poems, and Phil Ochs' last few albums, the work that cracked my little aesthete head open in relation to politics, political art, and the relation of interpersonal ethics to social conscience. Also amazing writing, brilliant in detail and large-scale form."
