Lemon Sky is an indifferent sample of the genre, possibly because it comes mainly from Playwright Lanford Wilson's larynx. His hero, Alan, is a compulsive monologist who alternates between flip quips and narcissistic arias of self-pity.

Although a constant stream of nuclei was directed at the target, only about six collisions per hour produced atoms of the new element...

For those who missed it, the "disturbance" may sound like a replay of April 15, but for those who were there, it was a confusing truly weird event...
...pedestal frozen in a statue pose. Enter Leontes with full court procession. Lo, the statue moves. Queen Hermione kisses Leontes, then embraces Perdita. Thus far, the sentiments seem as bogus as the stage mechanism. In answer to the general call for "light libations," all the company extras stream onstage from different directions, eagerly awaiting their cue before launching on a final dance-spree...
