Notes: Maternity structures the play. . .Grotesquery marks both words and emotions.The language, itself, is an attempt to experience catharsis resulting often instead in declarations of war -- this chronic failure creates comedy. However, the traditional comedic ending, matrimony and a birth, brings no comedic relief. The comedy dies, giving birth to a new cycle of torment and hope. | ||||
Synopsis: A Boy, 10 years old, fat and clumsy, observes life in the house, which he calls "a living ball with breathing walls". His Father lost his first wife, who gave birth to his son, but doesn't seem to remember her. His new wife, Lena, the boy's stepmother, is suspicious of her love for her husband. She cooks meat, then beans, cares for her husband's dying but still lustful father. When the Old Man finally dies, Lena leaves the house. The Father replaces her with another woman who emanates underneath a pile of rags. The Old Man comes back to life just to demand more food on his plate at the dinner table. The boy flirts with a girl who is becoming a full-grown woman in front of his eyes. The lustful Old Man never dies again. Lena gives birth to a child and comes back to the house on the day of her husband's wedding. . . | ||||

Synopsis: The play is a dramatic exploration of myth, history and individual desire. Inspired partly by the biblical story of Jacob and the sisters Rachel and Leah who became his wives, it also visits 1918 Ukraine and 1943 Germany. The characters mature in History as History itself comes of age. | ||||
