Miss Furr and Miss Skeene Antoni Jach , 2006 single work drama 'Paris. Either 1920s or now. A very hot summer night. Two women, Miss Furr and Miss Skeene, are living together. They talk. The women go to the Bohemians' Club Cabaret to see Miss Isabella, the songstress, perform. The women meet two men, Mr Charlie and Mr McBride, who are also there to see Miss Isabella. Stuff happens. The End. A supermodernist play, which has been described as a "cross between Samuel Beckett, Anton Chekhov, Fernando Arrabal and Edward Albee" and as "a cross between Bertolt Brecht, Thomas Bernhard, Philip Glass, Jean-Luc Godard, Laurie Anderson and Seinfeld".
