There is a common axis in the two works included in this book: a somewhat realistic setting that quickly transforms into a commentary on society at the end of the 19th century.
It is a conversation between dream and nightmare, mocking the very plot of the works, stripping down their characters, and with their deliberate melodramatic outbursts, guiding us to an indistinct yet true boundary: the border between tragedy and parody.
In the space where these two works take place, light diminishes and darkness begins to dominate, yet from time to time their heroes are illuminated by flashes of truth, reminding us of Tennessee Williams' later saying in The Glass Menagerie: "Now that the world is illuminated by lightning."
