Brontosaurus

As reticent and unemotional as his aunt is loquacious and brittle, the young man contends that he has undergone a mystical experience - a revelation which is as unsettling to his aunt as it is fulfilling to him

As though intimidated by his inscrutable reserve, she grows increasingly voluble, revealing in her wise-cracking chatter the defense which she has constructed to keep the world at bay - and to mask the innate sensitivity and idealism which persist despite the loneliness and futility of her existence

Presented Off-Broadway by the renowned Circle Repertory Company, this remarkable short play moves with quick and unerring precision to find the truth behind what is spoken by its two central and opposing characters
