Context
“In the MeanTime” was originally workshopped and produced by the Milk Can Theatre Company as part of the “Receipt Plays” in May of 2004, at the Sande Shurin Theatre. All playwrights randomly chose a receipt and wrote a short play inspired by that receipt. The play has since been produced workshopped in CRY HAVOC and has had productions across America and in England.
