This co-production reunites Electric Company artists with the school where it all began.Archibald Twill is a destitute watchmaker down on his luck. It's looking pretty grim until he comes into possession of a singing flea. Her name is Caprice. Soon, Caprice becomes Twill's breadwinner and muse, and as her acclaim grows, he finds himself responsible for a counterculture outbreak that spreads throughout the city. How Caprice became what she is? Well, that's an awful little story. It's a story that leaps and clings. It's a story that will drain you. A story that will leave you scratching your head.
