The Wikipedia Plays at Ars Nova

The Wikipedia Plays, written by Ars Nova�s Play Group, is a mini-marathon of short plays that surf the wikipedia wave through seventeen related entries. What is 'The Defenestration of Prague'? And how is it seventeen steps removed from 'Castration Anxiety'? Wikipedia knows.
