Summary
Wallace Shawn is a down-to-earth dramatist who, whilst not having much
success in his career, is nonetheless happy with his modest

theatre director who has acquired a taste for extravagant New Age
fantasies. One evening, a mutual friend brings the two men
together for a dinner in a chic New York restaurant. Their
conversation ranges far and wide, from the role of theatre
in contemporary society to the meaning of
life...
