At the Thirteen-Millionth Annual Great Apes Family Reunion, the gorilla matriarch has organized a separate picnic for the great ape females, in order to call out the enabling of human males in the destruction of the planet. This one-act is a playful, but profound reminder that human evolution has been maladaptive in the extreme, and that our forms of social organization have been disastrously enabling of innate male primate violence.

       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far.
