This program presents a series of spoken performances of writings dealing with frustration and passion. In the first segment, "Living in Flames," Todd Alcott walks about the city expressing his feelings of frustration and hypersensitivity. In "Stories I Ain't Told Nobody Yet," Jo Carson explains that she has combined every possible mixture of words to write every phrase ever written, and in "The Day I Married" Carson dispenses her mother's advice on making potato salad and describes its moral component. Chris Durang and Kristine Nielsen discuss global warming and a complex theory on the psychoanalysis of fire in "Under Duress with Durang," Rinde Eckert sings in French about passionate emotions as English translations are projected across his body in "L'Enfant Ardent," Robert Joy recites in specific detail the actions involved in lighting a cigar in "Time and Again," and Fred Curchack dons a variety of masks and voices to recite passages from Shakespeare's "The Tempest."
