Throughout the play, other characters also sink deeper into the tribulations of modern life. Garga's family falls apart, his sister Marie (Brigit Fasolino) is forced into prostitution, and his girlfriend (Kristen Gasser) moves closes to the play's shady life. The play's 13 characters, all feeling extreme alienation from one another, grope desperately for something stable (including each other) in an innately chaotic world. Of course, none of them find...
