In 1935, Fefu and seven women friends gather at her country house to rehearse a charity presentation for school education. Their conversations expose personal and social struggles; the play’s four interior and exterior scenes are staged simultaneously in different parts of the theater, with audience groups rotating among them.
Promenade is an experimental musical comedy with book and lyrics by María Irene Fornés and music by Rev. Al Carmines. In a review in The New York Times for a 1983 New York revival, Stephen Holden linked the production to the Theatre of the Absurd: "This work, which suggests a mixture of Candide and Samuel Beckett viewed through Lewis Carroll's looking glass, is a little too avant-garde and absurdist to appeal to mainstream tastes. But in its odd way it's an exquisite piece of musical theater."
A play with music follows Sarita from adolescence in New York through a destructive attachment to Julio. Even after marrying Mark, she struggles to escape Julio's hold, with consequences for her freedom and sanity.
