It is a spoof of everything from waltzing toreadors to Tennessee Williams; and like the characters of Williams' The Rose Tattoo, Kopit's people are named with florid symbolism-Madame Rosepettle, Rosalie, Commodore Roseabove, Rosalinda the Fish-but without even the simplest clue to the possible significance of all the roses.

Director Harewood says: "They must be free to put on a play by Picasso in which someone fries fish onstage while a naked woman recites comments on the world situation"-which is what one Fringe group did last year, with Father Pablo's Desire Caught by the Tail...
