Coconut Joe is looking for the perfect consignment of coconuts for the biscuit factory he works for. His search has taken him to Berlin, where he is double crossed by a beautiful woman and ends up as a prisoner in a nuclear waste plant. He escapes and makes his way to Venice. He boards a ship but it sinks. But Joe manages to escape on a life raft with a Pirate Queen. They are washed up on an island and end up in a hotel that is full of down and outs who cannot pay their rent. They put on a puppet show to amuse themselves. "LIKE I SAY, a new play by one of America's leading writers, is set at the seaside Hotel Splendide, where a peculiar group of travelers try to make some sense of life and get ahold of some ready cash. This mysterious and comic story takes us to the edge of America and the end of the line." -Royal Court Theatre, London "Len Jenkin has an unusual talent for reaching into the shadowy places in the human psyche and coming up with evocative images - like thrusting an arm into a barrel of black slime and coming up with a handful of gold nuggets." -Journal American (Seattle)
