Actually the parallels between my roaches and the Viet Cong can hardly be ignored. There are seventeen parallels. Both my roaches and the V.C. are indigenous forces, are ignorant, ill-clad and underfed; they both drag away the bodies of their slain, come back no matter how many are killed, move by night, avoid prolonged engagements with the enemy, are not white, are fighting against people who are, have been fighting for generations, are of uncertain numbers, move via infiltration routes, are wily, are outarmed by the enemy, are contemptuous of death, are independent of outside control, are inscrutable...
...mode of dance. Jazz Calendar, the slighter piece, is a light-hearted series of variations on the old nursery rhyme that begins, "Monday's child is fair of face." Wednesday's child, who is "full of woe," is portrayed by Svetlana Beriosova as a studiously mournful, black-clad wraith, pursued by a clutching quartet of mottled, mock-serious snakes.

Herlihy's second play has two characters, though one of them does not utter a word. She is Lonesome Sally (Rochelle Oliver), a hooker shacked up in a motel room with a black-clad psychopath (Larry Bryggman) who calls himself Terrible Jim Fitch and robs churches for a living. Lonesome Sally is in a state of shock; Terrible Jim has already cut up her face, and during his long rant of self-justification and jaunty mockery and bewildered rage it becomes clear that her revenge will be to maneuver him into murdering her. Unfortunately, the tension and terror...
