Hello Ken: I saw your performance last Sunday, and thought the whole thing was brilliant: horrifying, and hilarious in a macabre way. It speaks artistically to a basic truth about the world we live in, and is a challenge to people who see it. I hope it is performed repeatedly, and taken up by others in other locales. Kudos to you and the performers; I'm sure performing this piece also required some boldness and daring on everyone's part.
Best regards,
Frank Harper
