Description Based on the notion of the famous Magritte painting of a pipe with its paradoxical caption "Ceci N'est Pas Une Pipe"- the audience spends most of the 75 minutes of Begging the Question seated at small restaurant tables, watching and being part of a confusing and surprising array of those who beg, what they beg for and why they beg.
