| Description |
The first piece, The Large Breast was written after a dream the writer had...a dream-like musing on fate and fatality. The second and title piece, The Fertility of Objects, is over the top, with sexuality verging on farce interwoven with a witty ommentary on a consumer society. The third piece, Inconsolable, shows a mastery of everyday dialogue...the overall standard of acting is impeccable. |
