Sometimes I get sick of all the bullshit floating around. It's like the sewerage on the beach; your nose can put up with a certain amount of it but finally it breaks down under the strain. That's what this play is about. It's not a sophisticated spoof of American society. It's like a gaudy comic-corny and horrible. It does not intend to be fitted into a little box with 'Theatre' written on it or any other holes rabbit-minded people may try and slot it into, like 'good' or 'bad' - or the words I'm using on it. Such denials after all are like an infinite series of Chinese boxes, or tracks around a gooseberry tree. Nick, who has groped around in the shiniest part of this society sitting exams and writing essays, has collected together some of the worst shit, which we are presenting as a play. Most people have difficulty noticing the shit right in front of them (e.g. this article); perhaps with it all moved to the stage we might have a better chance.
