The play consists of nine short scenes representing an evolution. Each scene is separated by a short narrative description of the state of the universe at the time of the scene. These scenes are then enfolded within another short play which has an independent existence as a short piece entitled "We’re Here" which is broken into two pieces in this play, called the "Parados" and the "Exodos".Each scene requires a different acting style, although the characters are still the same ‘people throughout. Each scene bears a relationship to one of a series of paintings which are described in the play "Magpies", to which this play is related. The play was first produced by Stagecraft Theatre in 1994, directed by Ann Elliot Smith also by Faces Theatre in Malta. It is part of a quartet of plays which also include Peace, Magpies and Clownes.
