Action (Shepard)

Four people are drinking coffee and a turkey is in the oven. The women do ordinary household tasks and appear to be normal beings. On the other hand, the men, with shaven heads, seem like stage humanoids. They are subject to fits and fears. The four seem lost in time and place-- even as they act out strange roles while still doing ordinary things. It is at the same time a familiar yet frightening world, inhabited by seemingly familiar yet strange people. Available in the collection Fool for Love and Other Plays
