"The play is a trilogy about meaning," he said. "But instead of scenes, they are three one-act plays."
In the three plays, the main character passes through stages of feeling trapped, confused and saved.
"But the salvation is quite extraordinary as is the entire play," Maness said.

William Hinton, agricultural expert for the communists, in the SUA Minority Opinions Forum series last night, spoke on the cultural revolution in Communist China and some of the aspects of American and Chinese relationships.
"The current revolution stems from the success of the 1949 revolution which broke the old land system," said Hinton. The revolution in 1949 gave all the people land of their own and something to work for, he said.
Hinton added the socialist faction of the government has been strengthened by the revolution.

Bill Seymour, instructor of journalism, said yesterday he still had not heard from the insurance adjuster as to whether the company would reimburse the full retail value of the stolen cameras.
The cameras, valued at nearly $420, have not been recovered. Their theft, which qualifies as grand larceny under Kansas criminal law, occurred after they had been on display for 30 days as prizes in the 1969 KU Photography Contest. The cameras were to have been removed from the display case and presented to the contest winners Monday morning.
Haller said the police were checking all leads and had several more presons to contact about the robbery.
