Especially designed for sinners.  Saints may be insulted . Misses being politically correct.  Is the play disrespectful of religions? Four strange humans!  They travel the dangerous East Coast of Africa. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?   Where do they come from?  Are they who they say they are?   Will psychiatrists help?  Probably not.  What do they want?  What are they looking for?  Why are they on this trip? Three bizarre and confused characters, plus an elusive Captain, appear in this two-act drama about a voyage on a small exclusive cruise ship which sails around the east coast of Africa along the warm Indian Ocean. BERNARD is taking his 40^th cruise.  BOO, now on her 10^th cruise, has been married five times and likes her gin.  And ARTHUR, the accommodating waiter, is very obliging toward both, but seems secretive.  They cruise toward dangerous ports with revolutions, terrorists, and pirates.  All rumors, of course. They each claim they want nothing.  And then there is the weird ship Captain?
