Plot
There are many kind of complicated human relations surrounding this play.
Complicated Friendship,Family which seems harmonic while on contrary or sex for filling inner emptiness.These relationships are samples from human society but out of ethic morality.Development of civilization makes distance between people closer,whereas people invisibly drifted apart because of progress of science. We could acquaint people easily,but unfamiliar with each other.Relationship is like a bowl of water that once you give water to more people,less water people will get.
Although the playwright did not give name to characters whose names were their position in relation or society,there was a character who did have a name which is a homophone for language in Chinese.It is a sign that the playwright instantly dig into the phenomenon of language using.Is language really funtional in reality?

Concept
In this play,the characters come and then go away,no one is particularly created.While analyzing this play,I found that they are so flat that can not be concluded to specific image.They only show us their one-side personality,in other words,one identity.I tend to emphasize each relationship and their “one identity”,deciding to give each character a color.
Scene Friendship and Family are more realistic than others,which characters’ costumes would show more background and story.As for Characters in Scene Sex,Career and Strangers,their costumes are very neat that one could only tell their relationships.And there are three special characters whose jobs are changing stage properties and manipulating other characters like puppies.Their costumes are all black as crew,but with plastic and reflective fabric.
To enhance that actors are playing roles,they would change their costumes of different roles on stage.Moreover,they would not leave the stage but watch the theatre as audiences when they are not in a role.
