Publisher's Synopsis
It is the year 2525. America (now Vespuccia) is slouching ever closer toward its worst dystopian version of itself: new sets of intolerances, the extirpation of all native wildlife, the stars invisible from light pollution...Such is the rollicking setting for this play about a psychiatric intervention. Beta, a wealthy surfer, accompanies his brother Coughdrop, an astronomer, to his intake interview with Dr. Alpha. Coughdrop feels culpable, somehow, for an outrage in his past, as well as for someone's death. Is he imagining his guilt? Is memory manufacturing details of episodes? Will he transform into a "cleffigan" (an irrevocable mental monstrosity)? Stay tuned. And keep telling yourself: it's only a play, it's only a play...
