Summary
Portia is a young woman who's brought a man home and seems to be deciding whether or not to take him to bed. She is cynical about relationships and seems to enjoy tormenting him, alternately seductive and rude, keeping him uncertain of her intentions as she reveals her attempt to find truth by generating nightmares, her theories about copulation and the nature of reality, and the relationship of intercourse to bull fighting. But a sock puppet killer has been terrorizing the city, and desire might prove even more dangerous than we suspected. In Darkpool & Other Plays.
