A series of tableaux depicting the follies of a group of naïve Marxist would-be radicals who think that they want to be revolutionaries, but in the final analysis, what they really want is to be seen wearing berets.

The setting is the rooftop terrace of a cancer hospital in 1976, where two men converse their way from pedantic banter to verbal jousting to painful soul baring over the course of the play.
