"Better People", a surreal comedy about genetic engineering was George and Karen's second collaboration, produced in 1990 at Theater for the New City, with a generous grant from the The Dietrich Foundation; published in Angels of Power, edited by Susan Hawthorne and Renate Klein (Spinifex, 1991). Photos: Dr Edward Chreode is one of the geneticists working in the labs of Dr. Philbert Wallace in the race to map the human genome. A rare beast walks into Chreode's lab, speaking one word: "Rendezvous". She declines the offer to have her eggs harvested so that Chreode can clone some off-spring and after dancing with the scientist, she swallows him. He emerges an ecologist.
