Synopsis: | A haunting, puzzling and quizzical play. At first, it seems hopelessly fragmented. Is this scene an echo of another scene? A variation on it? Or a continuation? Regardless, the short scenes hold and tease the audience's imagination. The seven actors each play multiple roles. Each character appears in a brilliantly observed and imagined vignette, in which trivial incidents and remarks echo things which happened to the same actor when he/she played another character. There are three "morning scenes" that are about beginnings and the endings lurking within. Then there are three "evening scenes", in which a sense of ending is underscored by a perception of beginnings. In between there are four intermezzos, which are even shorter and suggest transition, repetition, and uncertainty. Each story has a sense of completion, yet there is the suggestion of endlessness. The effect is kaleidoscopic, impromptu, yet carefully planned | |||||
