Description A farceur of unparalleled skill, Frayn has created a comedy about the innumerable gadgets and vehicles of miscommunication plaguing our modern world. Cell pones, beepers, alarms and all manner of devices cause havoc in eight miniature plays beginning with a disastrous dinner party and building to a frenzied finale involving the world's politest german tourist, 11 separate pay phones and the answering machine from hell.
