Limbo Tales
Author(s):
Len Jenkin
THE STORIES: The NY Post writes: "...the plays are character studies of two men who have distinctly different, but related, experiences of physical and spiritual dislocation." In the first play, HIGHWAY, a man suddenly decides to drive to his girlfriend's house, which is 200 miles away. He becomes obsessed with the thought that each car which passes may be his girlfriend coming to visit him--and as he begins to lose touch with time and place he becomes convinced that he has moved back to another century, another civilization. (1 man). In the short INTERMEZZO, a Master of Ceremonies announces, in hilarious detail, all the exotic acts which will not be on the bill that evening. (1 man). In the final play, HOTEL, a down-on-his-luck encyclopedia salesman sits in a flea-bag hotel room, eating Chinese food which is delivered by a disembodied arm, while listening to the squabbling of his neighbors and contemplating the aridity of his limbo-like existence. (1 man).
