7 Male 5 Female
As he fights to defend himself and his family against increasingly scurrilous attack, Jeff receives support from a disembodied "Voice," and as the action moves on to a bizarre courtroom scene the "Voice" gives Jeff the absolute power to control the forces of nature
In the resulting chaos, machines stop, animals talk, the heads of state confer desperately on ways for a man to regain domination of his environment. But, as the exciting denouement makes chillingly clear, it may already be too late
That is unless mankind reverses its present ecological destructiveness and seeks out its true and proper place within the overall balance of nature
An established regional theatre success, this unique and challenging play employs the most imaginative theatre techniques to set forth its cautionary message of man's impending ecological disaster
"It is a fascinating subject and an absorbing show" ~ Variety
