- Abstract
- en_US This paperback presents six scripts for travelling theater featuring two actors. The author and his wife created these plays and traveled with them. Though the author labels several of the pieces fables, they seem to be more and less than that. They are more in that they are larger and more elaborate than fables usually are. They are less in that they seem to lack the focus I look for in fables. Maybe they are more mythic than fabulous. I read The Apple Bit again and find it presenting enjoyable repartee based on Genesis. Eve presents the cynicism of the serpent well as she and Adam prepare for the awful moment when God discovers what they have done. The two do a good job of finger-pointing. Everything about this book and the venture it represents speaks of the sixties.
