The Rules

Mee, Charles L.

God knows what this piece is. Scenes and performance art pieces, and everyone ends up running for their lives. There's talk of the first Thanksgiving dinner, and some tips for wearing rubber, recollections of the good old days at the Mutaigha Club, and an agonized rationalization for selling one's own body—if that's what one has to sell—in an effort to arrive at a new set of conventions to live by, now that the old ones are gone. [6 actors]
