The Play is the thing

I haven't got really into super contemporary drama but via Atrios there's a one act play published called Fair and Balanced but the guy who did Bat Boy the Musical (which played in Des Moines but was to expensive for an underemployed person like me to see whine whine whine) Check it out here . The only frame of reference I have reading through the excerpts provided is the pseudo-plays Frank Zappa wrote about in the liner notes for albums like Thing-Fish and Civilization Phase III where the characters are odd symbols of something. Fair and Balanced looks neat, I could play the quiet but resilient Ampersand in the Des Moines production.
