Fast and furious with carefully placed resonant beats and rests, this insightful, sharp monologue captures many frustrations while celebrating collaboration. Hovanesian's rhythms are a verbal Gene Krupa solo, but the meaning behind the words -- words about words, words about the absence and futility of words, words abut writing and writing about words and how words are and are not writing, words about acting, and words about art -- the meaning makes those rhythms matter. You feel both lucky and envious if you've not been in his shoes. And if you have... three words: you get it.
