All in the Timing

All in the Timing comprises six hilarious one-act plays: Sure Thing, where two people meet in a café and find their way through a conversational minefield but still fall in love. Words, Words, Words which recalls the philosophical adage that three monkeys typing into infinity will sooner or later produce Hamlet. The Universal Language, which brings together Dawn, a young woman with a stutter, and Don, the creator and teacher of Unamunda, a wild comic language. Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread, a parodic musical vignette in trademark Glassian style, that captures an existential moment of crisis for the composer. The Philadelphia where a young man in a restaurant has fallen into a Twilight Zone-like state. Variations on the Death of Trotsky, which presents the Russian revolutionary on the day of his demise, trying to cope with the mountain-climber's axe he's discovered in his head.
