Persons who are mentioned but aren't seen onstage include Warren Enright, Georgia, and Bessie Smith. At one point, the protagonist is accused of reading Chinese poetry and drinking green tea. During the course of the second section more and more people begin to sit on the seats onstage, until a drunk finally gets up to join one of the main characters. That woman, who is dressed in "skimpy summer clothes," wears loud lipstick, and eats an apple, dances a jig while calling her antagonist "Tom Woolyhead." Eventually he slaps her and unleashes a rant against hip whites who can't understand that Charlie Parker wants to kill them all. Set on a subway car that seems to travel through the underbelly of the city indefinitely, it ends with Lula stabbing Clay to death and another young black man getting on the train to seemingly start the game all over again. For ten points, identify this symbolist play by LeRoi Jones.
