The Invention of Tragedy (a reading)
by Mac Wellman
Directed by Meghan Finn

A chorus of students, all alike and all unalike.  There are 1001 of them and they are trying like the devil to tell a simple story.  Perhaps the story about the tragedy of the SANDWICH MAN with sandwich boards upon which nothing is written and hence with nothing to say.
