Description What is extraordinary about the piece is its witty use of outrageous metaphors and fantasies and mixed theatrical modes to explore Duncan and Luann's relationship, to touch on the issue of The Meaning of Life for which they are both searching and to send up virtually everything. "An anarchic melange of performance styles and techniques".
