<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A dark and steamy comedy exploring the harmonies and dysfunctions of six sexually entangled musicians on an ill-fated winter tour.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Music has long been considered beneficial in enhancing cognitive skills, and some have even suggested that music constitutes its own category of brain function; that it is, in fact, a separate and distinct type of thought. As is sex, which can produce, aside from children, complete dysfunction, confused mental activity - even, quite possibly, a compromised immune system, and certainly, in many cases, complete and utter memory loss - both before and after. It seemed only natural, then, for playwright Morris Panych to put these two types of human experience together into one play. After all, both take practice. <p/>This dark and steamy comedy explores the harmonies and dysfunctions of six sexually entangled musicians on an ill-fated winter tour. When a blizzard strands this sextet for an extra night, they have only their instruments, each other, and their secrets to keep them warm.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Playwright, actor and director Morris Panych has been described as "a man for all seasons in Canadian theatre."
