He claims she is the perfect wife, and theirs the perfect love. Haunting this quartet is the specter of Ota Benga, a pygmy that was stolen from Africa and caged at the Bronx Zoo in 1906. Amidst drugs and drinking, the couples’ philosophical debates take a sinister turn as secrets are revealed and mayhem is unleashed.
