Reality? by Bob Tucker |

Run Time | Around 15 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | Startling fifteen minute play. Single set (just a couch), minimal props. |
Synopsis | What's going on? They appear to be a family, but they don't agree about who's who - or, indeed anything else! Parallel universes are colliding in one house, causing confusion about identity, location and time. (Okay, strictly, if they are parallel it should not be possible for them to collide, but the grammatical part of 'Multiverse' theory is not yet as advanced as the mathematics, so you'll just have to put up with an imprecise description!) |
