Synopsis: | A fast-paced, witty compilation of ten short plays exploring how we use the same language to mean all kinds of different things, and the dangers therein. Whether it's a farce dressed up as a Greek tragedy, a soon-to-be wed couple seeking counsel-free counseling, a hapless suitor named Bob who's learning how complex a simple phrase can be, or four actors desperately trying to fit 32 awkward silences into ten minutes, this play has all sorts of hilarious surprises in store. | |||||
