A witty, philosophically playful chamber piece that uses a fictional meeting of 1950s icons to explore fame, mortality, and the nature of reality through intimate conversation and unexpected connection.

Four 1950s icons meet in the same hotel room, and two of them discover more in common between them than they ever anticipated.
