These seven short plays spring from a strange, wide-ranging imagination, and they bring to life a series of brilliant stage figures, each isolated in his own world, each with his obsessions. From the conventional realism of "The Soldiers of no Country" the plays move progressively toward more abstract forms such as the "pure, premeditated Action" of "The Nose of Sisyphus," in an area the author calls third stream theatre, just short of the unrehearsed "happening."
