3 Male 2 Female
Rooms are drifting into each other and trees and saplings have taken root indoors. Leonard is an actor who hasn't worked in eleven years; Dinah is an overworked costume designer who can't dress herself
They have invited their new neighbors, an overworked editor who delights in reciting nursery rhymes and his beautiful movie startet wife, for dinner. Things explode when a friend who is a successful movie director, drops in
Old memories stir and new passions kindle as vegetables and Dinah's costumes fly

"A mad hatter blowout" ~ Newsday
"Howe creates a high wire act of verbal and visual images.... This is high comedy" ~ Theatre Week
