Aptly described both as an ‘expressionist phantasmagoria’ and ‘an apocalyptic vision of the contemporary world’, the play is set in a walled town in a police state from which various characters try to escape. Among the fictional people are famous literary and historical characters such as Don Quixote, Marguerite Gautier, Casanova and the mythical American Kilroy who ‘was here’; they converse with one another in cryptic and soulful conversation in the midst of various extraordinary events happening around them.
