re: more description
i think if anyone knows this play they will know exactly what i mean by "extensive use of idioms".
more plot details:
dialogue is between a woman and her husband
the woman i think is a housewife, who has either had an abortion or lost a child. i don't remember which
husband is a business man.
i think i remember the play taking place in a plane at some point.

re:astromiami
no, that's not what i mean. this was a peculiarly avant garde approach approaching nonsense. Dialogue would sound something like this:
A: I took a bath today.
B: I cried like a baby today.
A: I'm going to sleep like a baby.
B: Did you throw out the trash?
A: I threw out the baby.
B: Where's the bath water?
this is a poor rendering, but this is sort of what it was like.

i don't know if this was performed on broadway - probably just off-broadway. it's a play that i read a while ago. it was written by a female playwright in the twenty first century. small cast, i think just two characters. the writing made EXTENSIVE use of idioms. very quippy. characters would use idioms, botch idioms, mix idioms, recycle the words of idioms to say something else .... and i recall there being a motif of a dead child.
it's driving me insane. i've raked through every list
