FLEA is a female flea. Despite being an insect, she is very sexy. For unspecified reasons, Flea and her lover, GIOVANNA, are forbidden to leave the room. They spend their time in the bed.

Giovanna has been having dreams of love, which she relates to Flea as entertainment. Her dream scenarios sometimes intersect, sometimes stand alone. They are interspersed with scenes of her and Flea, using the same big bed set.

The play is brand new as of 2021. It has yet to find its history.

    A kind of dream play, a series of impressions that accumulate into something you can't quite put your finger on. It's a play driven more by trying to connect the chain of vignettes rather than tracking one central conflict, though the implicit framing within the COVID quarantine adds tension to every scene. It asks big questions even while it ventures into bedroom farce territory.

A cast of 6 (3W, 3M) plays 15 on-stage characters and one off-stage polar bear. Doubling is easy because each scene contains only 2 characters. See cast list for suggested doubling.

Any role can be played by any actor regardless of age, color, pronoun etc.
