Synopsis
What Did You Say What For?
Published by Samuel French Inc
1 Male 1 Female
This hilarious dialogue between two lost souls was first performed at Jose Quintero's Director's Seminars in 1958 and then Off Broadway
It is considered the first absurdist drama written or produced in the United States
An extremely excessive "lady" attempts to converse with an aged introvert
Beneath the bizarre dialogue and lunatic fun is a level of human isolation crying out to talk with something that reacts
To be heard and acknowledged
Even though nothing in particular is communicated
