Georges Depardieu falls into bed and wakes up in an altered reality where he meets himself and his girlfriend-twice. First, the self and girlfriend whom he encounters are a pimp and a prostitute, respectively; in the second such couple, gender roles are reversed. Billing the one-act play as a "zany comedy with serious undercurrents," author and co-producer Ned Colby, who is also a Crimson editor, declines to elaborate on his script, its title or its premise, explaining that he wants audience members to "make up their own minds about what the play is saying-or saying...

It's enough of a commotion that no one sees three nattily attired youngsters approach the door. That would be Mark and comrades Juliette Beck, 29, and Alli Starr, 32. With them is another youngster, Doris (Granny D) Haddock, 90, who walked clear across the country last year in the name of campaign reform. All four get flagged, but three scam their way in. Dan Quayle Dad then flashes his press pass; Starr hooks...
...Until they push a bill through, he carps, he's forced to try beating them at their own game. This is slick, it's quick, it's a crock. Mark tries to recover, but McAuliffe is in retreat. Later, leaving his own party, he stops at the MCAULIFFE--CORPORATE PIMP sign and autographs it. Oh, the chutzpah...
