The playwright’s description of the setting is as follows:

Most of the pieces described will be provided by the host group, with two exceptions - the plain wooden chair (which has to creak when Harold sits on it), and the exposed plumbing mass, which each group will need to bring with them, as they will need it for rehearsals - the plumber has to get tangled up in the pipes. The set design which comes with the play will show the location of four anchoring brackets, to which the pipes may be connected. "Pipes", of course, may be interpreted in a variety of ways, from swimming pool noodles, plastic dryer connections, or whatever takes your fancy.

The plot centres around Antigua, whose meditations are interrupted by Harold, a klutz, who comes looking for Antigua’s sister Bonnie, with whom he has a date. Poor Harold’s valiant attempts to cope with Antigua and her strange studio are finally interrupted by Nicholas, a model, (or is he?), then by a plumber who has come to sort out a problem with the pipes (he also is not what he seems), and finally by Bonnie. After many identity confusions, struggles, and arguments, all is finally resolved - even thou gh it leaves Harold a little the worse for wear - but Bonnie will look after him, and Antigua is finally left alone with her "plumber".
