==Plot==
The play parodies a panel discussion, regarding the identity of an enigmatic (fictional) writer named ''Archer Aymes'' decades after his death, formed to debate Aymes's life and work. Early in the play, a woman (Apollodoros) exhibits to the audience ancient Greek amphora painted with scenes from The Bacchae, and introduces the architectural history of the play's setting (the ''Museum of Antiquities''), alluding to the death of an ''unidentified woman'' some years earlier. ''The Moderator'' proceeds to read an excerpt from ''Mother and Son'', a "novel by Archer Aymes", then welcomes the audience into the "curious room of forgetting what had been remembered" (both a complaint about forgetfulness, since the play revolves remembering a forgotten artist, and a call to action that requires letting go of moribund or memorialized Truths). Introducing five invited panelists, and one uninvited guest (Apollodoros) who unexpectedly insists she be included as a participant in the conference (even though she elects to sit apart from the others), quietly observing and occasionally interrupting the proceedings with remarks of intentional ambiguity as she serves food and wine to the panelists. In the course of the play, the audience learns ''Archer Aymes'' became an overnight literary sensation for his first book, ''Mother and Son'' during in the age of the Beat poets and the McCarthy era. Ten years later he was found dead in a prison cell.〔Signatures of the Past: Cultural Memory in Contemporary Anglophone North American Drama, edited by Marc Maufort, Caroline De Wagter; p. 83, Race and Cultural Memory in Carl Hancock Rux's Talk by Michele Elam〕
