Synopsis

Commissioned by the Los Angeles Center Theatre Group (Mark Taper Forum). Written in a striking contrapuntal form, this imaginative and haunting short play is compromised of the thoughts and recollections of six characters, who sit at random, answering each other's revelations with a quiet "yes." Out of the pattern of their memories, the interweaving of their destinies, emerges a sense of their frailty, and humanity, and the disquieting vulnerability of life itself.
