There is an undeniable wackiness to Lawing's writing, it's the hook, it's what makes his writing memorable and, if seen on stage (I bet), unforgettable. This sock-puppet monologue - one of the best I've read (there's a genre just for this, FYI) is more than its wacky premise: as with other shorter plays, it's his way to explore the sense of magic, joy, and transcendece, and also subjects such as memory's influence on the present and the desire for connection to something extra-ordinary, strange, or mysterious. Producers - definitely make a stop at Lawing's imaginarium that is his fabulous work...
