Piece Description

When chaos is king - this show features Anna Lengyel Nagy's story from Budapest, Hungary, about a lesbian couple: Zsuzsa falls in love with Ingrid, comes out to her family and is thrown out of her home. She then gets found out at work and is promptly fired. This is the story of the triumph of love in a deeply oppressive society; Tom Truss tells the story from of Buddha Boy - the man on the street in New Orleans who is obsessed with Tom's necklace and will do anything to get it - and what happens when Tom just can't say no; Gillian Kendall's tells of her disastrous relationship with a man and her burgeoning relationship with the Quaker woman with the gray eyes; and finally, Jeff Cotter's story of his amorous night in a borrowed van - and what happens when it pops out of gear and his date goes downhill.

Broadcast History

This show, in a slightly modified form, was originally distributed by PRI in May of 2001.
