Synopsis

The play is Yossarian, an Everyman antihero who only wants to remain alive. Yossarian is a bombardier who has flown 50 missions and will do anything — even agree to being certified as crazy — to avoid going on another. But there is a catch: according to the Army, the fact that Yossarian doesn’t want to fly any more missions proves that he is not crazy, since one has to be crazy to keep flying missions.
