Reading of a play in process by Sibyl Kempson, commissioned by New York City Players. It is, according to Kempson, an examination of the collision of aesthetics and ethics when difficult situations such as the abject conditions of poverty are articulated in a mode of high art. Source materials, among others are James Agee's "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men," featuring Walker Evans photos and "Land and Life" by Karl Sauer.
