Three Parts is a study of relationships, an orchestration of interior monologues, and a tone poem for voices. By turns funny, bleak and beautiful, it explores the timing of memory and experience.
It is written in a unique form of verbal counterpoint. The actors’ lines, rather than following one another, overlay and flow through each other, like the parts of a string quartet (see).
