OVERVIEW

• Playwright

  Wesley Burrowes 

• Synopsis

  In this absurdist piece, George and Dolly have lost each other in their marriage to such an extent that their only choice is to stay together where they are and commit suicide, or go further into their own illusions, so far that they can never find each other, or tell truth from fantasy. Everyone they encounter on their journey is a stage further gone in illusion, until the last character has become an automaton, so far has he departed from his own truth.
