The action is prefaced by a scientific myth: the story of the striped foal\u2014<\/p>\n
A group of scientists have a stallion copulate with a zebra. Nothing happens, a small matter of obstinate XY chromosomes and a difference in genetic structure. The stallion is sent home where he mates with a mare. A few months later the mare gives birth to a striped foal\u2026<\/p>\n
A young couple, Violet and Edgar find themselves plagued, haunted and beleaguered: ghostly phone rings, vanishing cigarettes\u2014and unexplainable behavior between each other, almost as though they were being manipulated\u2026<\/p>\n
Unbeknownst to them, Lucretia, a mysterious Edwardian Lady, has been paying visits to two masked children in the garden\u2014twins by the name of Britannicus and Octavia. Lucretia has furnished the two little imps with computer games with which they wreak havoc on Violet and Edgar\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n
Everything changes when the Dandies-next-Door, Viktor and Rolf, come over for tea. They bring with them the regal Grande Brigitte; the saturnine Baron Samedi; and the tricksterish Legsy\u2014who is the bane of Lucretia\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n
In an impromptu s\u00e9ance, all is revealed: the twins are Violet and Edgar\u2019s stillborn children; Lucretia is Edgar\u2019s old flame\u2014all of whom died six years earlier\u2014Lucretia in a suicide\u2014and it is her suicide note that has passed hands throughout the course of the play\u2014morphing into other kinds of information and creating a general sense of unease. Confessions are in order and soon matters are righted\u2014or are they?<\/p>\n
A year later, we visit the couple in the midst of a soir\u00e9e. The former party guests are all present and a new addition\u2014a baby who looks suspiciously like Lucretia…
