Synopsis
Set in an empty Greek amphitheater this mad play within a play switches back and forth between ancient Athens and modern Broadway.
A Greek actor and a writer are discussing how to end a play.
Actors including Doris Levine from Great Neck Blanche DuBois and Groucho Marx pop out of the audience.
Peppered with metaphysical and philosophical questions the play skids along farcically until the actor and writer conclude that it lacks a beginning as well as an end.
