The Leisure Society

Peter and Mary are unhappy. But they don't know it yet. They work long hours. They invest their money for a retirement they will probably never enjoy. They buy things that are supposed to make them happy but that they never use. Bringing a child into this frightening world fueled by instant gratification; wanting to have some time and space for themselves so they can continue to grow and develop; or dedicating time to deepen the bonds between their friends; all seem like colossal tasks. Even worse, they seem like acts of resistance--one could even say betrayal--against a system that requires everyone to be active, productive, and consuming.

"A vicious, erotically charged spectacle full of cynical disdain and gripping pathos."--Montreal Gazette
