SITUATION ROOM, 1992
Soho Rep, NYC
Worlds collide when a couple of market researchers target a group of actors to investigate leisure behavior.
Harry
well, you’re probably wondering how to think of me
Mary
I don’t mind saying what’s going on isn’t completely clear in my mind
yet
Terry
I explained it
Mary

Harry
it’s simple, yet subtle
Mary
sometimes you can’t tell if it’s the situation or the words somebody is
putting it into
Harry
I’m sure we can make it work
we intend to begin marketing reality-based product endorsements starring you two as the people you actually are
and to know how other people will see you, we need to know how you are ourselves
but the last thing we want to do is intrude
just think of it as opening a window on your life and inviting us in
see, we really want to know what would be happening if we weren’t here
for us, the experience is entirely yours

“. . . inanity carried to the highest power, consummate zaniness. The whole hilarious troupe works as a conglomerate Buster Keaton.” -- Village Voice
