The Ride Across Lake Constance And Other Plays
“That is the despair of it.”
Characters HERMANN QUITT HANS, his confidant FRANZ KILB, minority stockholder QUITT’S WIFE Act I A large room. The afternoon sun is shining in from one side. The distant silhouette of a city, as though it were seen through a huge window, is visible in the background. (The background might also be formed by a backdrop, similar to a movie screen, with the silhouette of the city vaguely outlined against it.) QUITT, wearing a sweat suit, is working out on a punching ...bag, belaboring it with his fists, feet, and knees. HANS, his confidant, wearing tails, stands next to him with a tray and a bottle of mineral water, watching. QUITT takes a sip from the bottle, pours some on his head, and sits down on a stool.
