THE STORY: This biting and satirical study of the paradox of “leadership” is offered here in a shortened version prepared specifically by the author for nonprofessional production. Moving swiftly to its shattering climax, the play exposes the destructive fears which preoccupy a group of anxious and concerned followers—fears to that their Leader can only reply “It’s not important” —until Leader is revealed as a robot, and the others lapse into helpless, babbling lunacy.
