Better than a rocket ship, and a lot safer, the people at Rekall tell our hero. Naturally, something goes dreadfully wrong. Out of the blue, all sorts of people try to kill Arnold, so he has to kill them first. He is the target of an interplanetary conspiracy. He finds he can save the innocent people of Mars...
Like his most famous play, The House of Blue Leaves, John Guare's wry new off-Broadway work concerns the almost mystical longing of the unfamous for contact with celebrities. The odd title derives from a theory that any two people, no matter how distant in geography or circumstance, are linked by a chain of acquaintances: A knows B, who knows C, and so on.

He wears his brown hair short, but not punk short, and he has no tattoos or earrings. He wears a blue Windbreaker and jeans. He is earnest, painstakingly sincere and a walking encyclopedia of the I.R.A. party line -- he has carefully shed any trace of the sly, irreverent wit common to his neighbors. John has been trained in firearms, explosives and withstanding police interrogation, and admits that he has assisted...
