The play is among Wilson's earlier works, and was first produced off-off-Broadway at the Caffe Cino in 1964.
[4][5] In 1965, the play was produced alongside Wilson's No Trespassing for the La MaMa Repertory Troupe's first European tour.
Lawrence believes totally in Edna and Claypone's existence, and Joanna mostly seems to share this belief.
While describing the effects of universal expansion, he becomes excited and jumps around the room, imitating the stars being flung in every direction.
They play games, including one where Joanna is a queen and Lawrence commands Edna and Claypone to fetch her various things.
She screams at Lawrence to get a doctor, but he is afraid of the outside world and refuses to go outside, preferring to send Edna instead.
Lawrence leans over her and begs her to return, falling into a stutter as the play ends.
