Summary
This play about fear and materialistic longing compares an angrily impoverished waitress and a philosophical ceramics teacher in the early stages of multiple sclerosis who are sharing a borrowed, run down seaside apartment for the weekend. Visitors include the shopaholic wife of the landlord, a drunken misfit and two spectral intruders: Pest, a bad memory and Luggage, the Patron Saint of Heavy Burdens.
