This one act play premiered in 2002. It takes place in a shut down theatre which now functions as a cinema. This is where young Carl works as an attendant. The decayed cinema and the narrow-minded manager quickly becomes a metaphor on the rotten society Carl rebels against. The poet is represented by the 16-year-old budding poet, Boy, who is learning to be an attendant: This is where he experiences a world of dreams, horny women and class struggle.
