Harry Kondoleon's tragicomedies are peopled by extremists, their behaviour bizarre. And yet these curious characters are driven by the most familiar of passions; abandonment and betrayal define their pasts, shadow their present. They are needy and lonely and full of desire. They seek transcendence, and this impossible, fundamental longing takes forms both common and strange. Includes Slacks and Tops (2f 3m); Christmas on Mars (2f 2m); The Vampires (3f 3m); Anteroom (4f 3m); Self Torture and Strenuous Exercise (2f 2m).
