Why Tuesday Never Has A Blue Monday
Work
The work's "exclusive concern is the Wounded Self: in specific, the self of a highly neurotic star actress as torn apart and perhaps remolded...in a 50-minute session with her analyst.";"As "Why Tuesday Never Has a Blue Monday" begins, a young man is staring at some drapes as mildly unpleasant electronic music comes over the loudspeaker system. This goes on for a very long time. Then the young man puts several pictures, apparently drawn by children, on the floor, and regards them for a while. Then he puts away the pictures, turns on some rock 'n roll, fixes his tie and shirt-cuffs and sits in an armchiar. Then the electronic noises start again and the young man returns to the drapes. Then a young woman rushes in looking upset, removes her scarf, sits, writes something, and lights a cigarette. Then the young man turn to her and says 'You're late'. Then the young woman talks, in a loud voice, with great excitement, in very general terms for a considerable time, about how unhappy she is, and about certain nightmare experiences she has had or hallucinated. Then the young man and the young woman copulate by stroboscopic light. Then the young man delivers a diagnosis and prognosis of her case, also in loud, excited tones and very general terms. Then the young woman goes away. Then the young man turns on a tape recording of their interview, and, mercifully, turns it off again. And then the play is over."
