by Richard Greenberg

Directed by James E. Hawkins
A highly original and bitingly witty absurdist comedy, which pokes wickedly perceptive fun at New York's young, affluent and often vapid literary and artistic set-- the "mad-literati."
The Story: Focusing on the self-centered concerns of a group of Manhattan socialites, the action of the play deals with the ultimately hillarious misunderstandings that arise when one of their number, a frustrated, somewhat overweight and definitely suicidal poet named Charlotte, is temporarily detained in a mental hospital. The news of Charlotte's plight is misunderstood by the couple to whom it is reported. This leads to a series brightly satiric scenes as the "news" is passed along (with incremental exaggeration) from couple to couple, and culminates in an impromtu get-together at the home of literary couple Chuck and Rena (who first reported Charlotte's absence).
