Edward Crosby Wells foreword Robert Patrick
Published by Greyridge Press
4 Male 2 Female
This black comedy features the playwright himself
Spiritless, Wells is threatened by the night manager of The Venus Arms, a residential hotel, with permanent dispossession, leaving an empty,'though very animated body
Four literati arrive to perform an "inorcism" (as opposed to an exorcism) to restore Wells's spirit
Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas along with Oscar Wilde and Marcel Proust raise havoc while trying to raise the consciousness of the subject of their inorcism in this fun-filled, clever and very diabolical farce
And Franz Kafka, the night manager, keeps popping up in the form of a cockroach seemingly intent on the playwright's doom
WARNING - Read at your own risk. Or, you could find yourself possessed and living in The Venus Arms - permanently !
