“Zap”
is a conglomeration of seven plays. Clips from Shakespeare's Richard III plus six invented dramas representing a 1916 English mystery, a comedy set in Manhattan in the summer of 1965, a modern performance artist's one-woman show, a 19th-century Russian drama, a Southern play in a 1934 Mississippi mansion, and theatre of the absurd are juxtaposed against each other and eventually intermingle. To start the show the stage manager informs the audience they have imaginary remote controls and they should feel free to “change” channels if the play they are watching gets boring. The fun increases as actors become perturbed and confused about getting 'cut off' before their scene is finished and step out of character every so often to speak their minds. The only connecting thread between the clips is a corpse that remains onstage throughout the entire production and becomes a focal point in many vignettes.
