...EVENING'S BORING segment comes with the play by Handke, who is now enjoying popularity on the New York stage with his longer and presumably more interesting Kaspar. Here four white figures emerge beneath what appears to be a giant morning glory about to devour the piano. Each announces, "I came into the world..." and begins a work which consists of nothing but confessional sentences beginning with "I."
