A room in a country house sings of those who have lived there over a span of seventy years. Performed with striking theatricality by OBIE award winning Talking Band using an array of genres \u2013 40\u2019s Noir, Chinese Ghost Tale, Chekhovian Farce\/Tragedy, and a Sicilian Puppet Opera sung by beavers \u2013 their stories intertwine and illumine each other.<\/p>\n

The audience sees a multiple, fractured view of a place. We see the view through the room\u2019s windows \u2013 a side porch, a lawn, a flower garden with a rose arbor, a pond with a dock \u2013 and the people who inhabit these settings. As the play unfolds, one setting comes into the foreground as another recedes. The scenes move on rolling platforms so we them not only from different distances but from different angles as well, and soon we comes to realize that we are seeing the characters not only from different points of view but also at different moments in time.<\/p>\n
