Introduction

Set in the 1950's. In the words of a band I once heard talking about a riff "if you can follow this you can plat sawdust!!" In the words of the director "Ionesco rejects traditional story structure and instead builds structure upon language, from rhythms and sounds and repetition. Words dominate the characters, either by suffocating them or propelling them inexorably forward."
