This short play is poetry! The same person is portrayed at 20, 80, and 1,000, and all these versions of the person are having a conversation with each other - or, rather, talking at each other: not appreciating what each age has to offer, not seeing the good in each age, only the bad. There is so much here that I want to read it through several more times. This play is unique and beautiful. It would be a stand-out for me in an evening of shorts. Plus it made me feel guilty about all the bread I've fed ducks.
