Program Note
Thomas is a thirty-two year old suffering from acute agoraphobia. For eight years, he has been a deliberate prisoner in his own home; neither leaving the house or letting anyone in. His only contact with other people is through his computer screen. With the strange and hermit-like existence Thomas is almost happy. But he is alone. Clara, his long-time virtual partner does not amuse him anymore. His shrink decides that Thomas needs a major shake up and signs him up an Internet dating club. His insurance agent informs him that he is eligible to receive free of charge the services of prostitutes especially trained to handle mentally impaired people. On Thomas′ screen, real women start to call. But Thomas has no desire to get married or ever fall in love. And little by little, Thomas is getting puzzled and annoyed at these invasions into his feelings and his private and intimate world. Can′t everybody just leave him alone?
