Description The place is a Manhattan loft shared by Anna, a lithe young dancer-choreographer, and her two gay roommates - her collaborator, Robby, who has just been killed in a freak boating accident, and Larry, a world-weary, caustically funny young advertising executive. Robby's older brother, Pale, bursts on the scene. He has come to collect his brother's belongings - but stays on to transform the action of the play and the lives of those in it. Very New York in its linguistic and theatrical idiom.
