Peggy Pickett sees the face of God

Liz and Frank invite their estranged friends, Martin and Carol, for a dinner party. Carol struggles to remain calm, Martin drinks through the discomfort and Frank attempts to lighten the mood. On the other hand, Liz puppeteers the night away with her daughter’s plastic doll, Peggy Pickett, and Annie Abenie, a wooden figure received as a gift from Martin and Carol. The mixture of wine, envy, comparison and regret may not play out well for these four physicians. In this dramatic comedy Roland Shimmelpfennig critiques the complex nature of issues such as power and neo-colonialism.

Liz en Frank nooi hul vervreemde vriende, Martin en Carol, vir 'n aandete. Carol sukkel om kalm te bly, Martin drink deur die ongemak en Frank probeer verligting bring deur grappe te maak. Aan die ander kant speel Liz die aand verby met haar dogter se plastiek pop, Peggy Pickett, en Annie Abenie, 'n houtfiguur as geskenk van Martin en Carol. Die mengsel van wyn, afguns, vergelyking en spyt kan dalk nie goed uitspeel vir hierdie vier dokters nie. In hierdie dramatiese komedie lewer Roland Shimmelpfennig kritiek op die komplekse aard van kwessies soos mag en neo-kolonialisme.
