Brief Synopsis - A Thought In Three Parts is structured around a
temporal perspective on sexual relations - before, during and after -
represented by each act. The first act, Summer Evening, represents a
couple's elaborate verbal preparation of foreplay. Sex becomes a
verbally obstructed engagement; it is all about not being in that
moment. yet. The second act, Youth Hostel, on the other hand, is all
about being there. For the group of young men and women onstage, sex is
immediate and everything presents ready sexual access. The final act,
Mr. Frivolous, represents an onanistic withdrawal of the self after the
sexual act. In re-experiencing a past sexual conquest, the character
retreats into a private world of solipsistic frivolity - completely
alone.
