Summary

Melanie wants her daddy back. He is wandering the desert, obsessed with finding uranium which will make him rich. She confronts him in the middle of his search... or is this but a room? A play in which one character is the reality, the other is imaginary - but which is which? This is a daffy turn in the absurdist vein.

Published in Off Off Broadway Festival Plays, 16th Series.
