The four actors play many roles: parent, child, teacher, psychologist, husband, wife, in a fiendishly swift journey through the seven ages of man. As a buzzer sounds, the contestants hop from one huge checkerboard square to another. A games master indicates roles, crises and situations, and penalties or bonuses are meted out. The play is a running spoof on psychoanalytical jargon, which has become...
