by R. C. Scriven
Produced by Rex Tucker
This play is about an eye operation. It is an attempt to convey, in dramatic form and in verse, an experience which is usually considered supremely difficult to communicate-acute physical sensation; sensation which is also, and necessarily, an emotional experience. The author of the play has himself undergone the difficult and delicate eye operation described.
