Guys talk about women. Women talk about guys. People meet at a club: they dance, they drink. Two women who live together retire, and as they are falling asleep, they get into an argument about whether they should or shouldn't say "I love you." Men discuss a conquest.

"Welcome to the Freak Show" is a refrain in the Funhouse: a claustrophobically small, dark room in which Eric Bogosian's furious series of monologues plays out. The flipside of the American Dream, the dark underbelly of post-Vietnam masculinity, the outcasts and the repugnant insiders all around us: Bogosian is savage on the state we are in.

Another Great Day depicts a day in the life of a housewife as she routinely performs her daily chores; TV, radio and pulp novels form her world of fantasy.
