Jack Hibberd wrote this extraordinary piece clearly with a certain actor in mind - one who could stretch Monk O'Neill across a multiplicity of real and illusionary characters who once provided him with the spice of life and turned him into what he is now - a hermit, free and glad to be away from it all. Still, he's only too happy to re-live some of his most colourful memories.

The action takes place in and around the shack that Monk has constructed for himself at One Tree Hill.
