When trying to sell a car, a character in this play puts a caller on hold, sings a section of “A-Tisket, A-Tasket,” and then gets back on the line claiming to have just spoken to another potential buyer. A character in this play is dissuaded from meeting her birth parents in Kushiro, Japan by an IRS employee. In this play, characters use the names Orangutan and Chutes&Ladders when in a chatroom for (*) crack addicts moderated by Odessa Ortiz. In this play, Coltrane’s Ascension plays over a man attempting to take a Subway sandwich order while a ghost asks for a passport in Arabic. This play is a sequel to one subtitled A Soldier’s Fugue and is titled for a dose that would have prevented one character from dying of dehydration. For 10 points, name this second entry in the Elliot Trilogy, a Pulitzer-winning play by Quiara Alegría Hudes. ■END■
