About the Play It’s the vaguely present day in the year 20XX and master-of-the-novel Manna Benes wants you to meet her at the Roxbury Motel. Is this the worst thing that ever happened to you? Or is that writer’s block? A passion play and a family play and a tragicomedy and a history play and a surrealist play and a transgressive novel and an ekphrastic poem and a children’s book and a meditation on dance and a dance on meditation and an instruction manual and a coupon book and a pornographic magazine and a holy text. And a love story.
