Only
three bizarre and confused characters, plus an elusivecaptain, appear in this two-act drama about a cruise
on a small exclusive cruise ship, The Botticelli, which sails around the east
coast of Africa along the warm Indian Ocean. Bernard Sheed Phillips, late forties, is taking his fortieth
cruise. Boo, now on her tenth cruise,
early forties ,five times married likes her gin. Cognac, scotch, bourbon martinis, but anything will do. And Arthur,
the accommodating Somalian waiter is very obliging toward both. They seem to like him too. Bernard proclaims he’s more than one person.
She enjoys being on deck and reading her favorite novelist and philosophic
guru, J. B. Roehard. Bernard likes her
legs. Arthur seems secretive. They cruise toward dangerous ports with revolutions,
terrorists, and pirates. All rumors of
course. They each claim they want nothing.
But then pirates invade the ship. And more happens
