Abstract

en_US
First copyrighted in 1976, this play's copyright was renewed in 2004. This booklet is a 42-page text. The back cover describes the piece this way: The action begins, once upon a time, in the village of People Who Fish in the Lake, where everyone longs nostalgically for the Golden Time, when happiness and harmony reigned supreme. In quest of what has been lost, the haughty king sends a traveler off in pursuit of the beast that is stifling the kingdom- a search filled with uncertainty and lurking terrors. As she progresses in.her journey, the traveler is beset on every side, and her task grows more complex: How will she find the beast? How will she recognize him? How will she kill him? Scenes of high humor alternate with those of dark menace as she presses on, building inexorably into a brilliant and evocative mosaic which, in the end, distills and expresses the very elements of the life force itself. I have not had the opportunity to try it for myself.
