when she's adult, she only cares about Todd.

people to escape and give them a shelter, occulting them in a lorry and bringing them

to a safer place.

-Todd: A combatient of war, he has fought in many battles and liked everyone.

In scene one, Harper and Joan discuss about Joan has seen: a group of people in a

lorry and her uncle hitting one of them. Harper justifies by saying her uncle was

protecting those people and was hitting a traitor. Scene two: several years later, Joan

and Todd are working making hats and discuss about their lives and their problems at

work. Scene three: several years later, Harper and Todd discuss about war and

animals. Later, Joan awakes and say she wanted to go to Harper's house beacuse she

wanted to see her husband, Todd, in spite of the difficults she passed on.

Harper's house and a hat shop.

The productions costs and the put in scene are simple and easy to make.

This is such a curious and strange play. The information about the war is almost

nothing. The bands are confusing, Harper and Todd as they speak in the last part of

the play, mix animals, nacionalities and jobs. Is such a strange thing talk about

cocodriles, cats os deers as if they were really dangerous for people. I think taht refers

to different...¿nacionalities? ¿Bands of the war? I don't know and its not very clear in

the play. To sum up, I must say that, in spite of the oddnes of the play, I liked it

precisely because of its oddnes.
