Synopsis:
The major action takes place in a New York bar where unsuspecting patrons are manipulated and sometimes forced to become go-go dancers by an ominous bartender, The play deals with the external and internal barriers that are used to separate us, so that we are easily controlled and frustrated in our attempts to bring about positive change. The forceful articulation of minority dreams and frustrations is punctuated by the sensitive presentation of the burdens of loneliness and desperation so many of us bear. The play suggests that we must learn true compassion to change the society..
