One dinosaur puppet towered 2 stories above the stage while another was a small marionette.

Three ideal candidates for extinction; a naturalist, a seductive liar and a con-artist are placed in a strange environment to create a highly theatrical examination of survival. In a setting on minimalist décor, these forelorn characters challenge and cheat each other unmercifully to produce a precise, lyrical comedy.
