This comedy borrows elements from both the
Commedia Del' Arte and Burlesque traditions
to send up doctors, wives, brutality and death.
It is for a general audience, though children
may particularly enjoy the exaggerated, absurd
characters.
Kenaf has just learnt that he's about to die
and his life changes dramatically as he finally
stands up to his domineering Wife, the bullying
Brute and the condescending Doctor.
As it turns out, there has been a mistake
on the part of the doctor, but Kenaf will
never be the same.
The setting for this piece, being essentially
metaphysical and absurd, takes place beyond
the realms of realism and all that is required
is a table and a chair. |
