In on It

Daniel MacIvor Winner of the 2001 Village Voice OBIE Award. A spiralling narrative about a dying man trying to make plans for the end, a pair of lovers trying to make it work, and two men trying to make a play. A world where accidents happen. A story about control. A play that keeps its options open.
