The Tease Spoons: A Drama in One or Three Acts

By John Lawrence Nazareth

The drama in The Tease Spoons proceeds on two levels. On one level, it portrays the comedic interaction---verbal banter, innuendo, wordplay---between two seemingly mismatched couples whose friendship is threatened by an impulsive act of betrayal by one of its principals. On the second level, it is a philosophical discourse, conveyed through a fifth dreamlike figure from a different plane of existence, whose imaginative soliloquy highlights the essential natures of our four principal characters. The interplay between two levels then shifts the dialog away from mundane, comedic human concerns and toward the wonders of the natural world and the mystery of memory and time. It also brings The Tease Spoons to an unexpected, and an unexpectedly satisfying, conclusion.
