This play includes farcical and grotesque horror elements as it deals with the ways in which one can lose time while busy catching up with one’s life. A somewhat frustrated woman, Rebekka, suffers from amnesia which seems to be the given state of most of the characters. None of them are able to do anything about their situations except for the grotesque housemaid, Eadie, who praises the great forces of initiative, and who bears a slight resemblance to a vampire. Into this untenable situation arrives Puttakins, Rebekka’s youngest daughter here to celebrate her mother’s birthday. It is ultimately revealed that the young Puttakins is actually a 55-year old woman on whom the years have passed without notice. The play is translated into English and German.
