The Hole (play)

The Hole is an absurdist play published in 1958, written by N.F.

Simpson, a British playwright associated with the Theatre of the Absurd.

At the top, a man with a camp stool, vacuum flask, haversack, and other necessities for a long vigil is forming the nucleus of a queue.

Each gazes into the hole and sees a different significance to the events down there.

With the fanaticism of the scientist, the politician and the preacher, each tries to convince the others.
