    This is a very funny and touching piece. Our hapless everyman eagerly goes to an audition in a New York office. Complications ensue. He accidentally crosses over into the video universe, with the 'help' of another performer's trained monkey. Every attempt to escape leads him further in the wrong direction. He hopes that by going along with the action, he will find the way out. He dances. He meets Muppets. He weaves in and out of video color bars.

    Mr. Irwin's predicament encapsulates the complications of modern living. This theme has run throughout all of his work, and we are much the better for it.
