Vol.2: In contrast with the first volume, the second is devoted to new mythologies and social forces. The three plays explore three American archetypal pursuits of happiness: the glory of the lone individual, the glamour of Hollywood and the magic lure of Space.Billy the KidMetal WomanTin Can ManThe folk hero BILLY THE KID defies the controls of a stagnant order- and the system strikes back, predictably, until a modern day 'Billy' cuts up and renews the myth so the hero can live to fight another day.The America of Hollywood and glamour, illusion and image runs head-on into the America of idealist seekers after freedom and significance in the comedy of METAL WOMAN. Can everyone get what they want? In America--maybe!The TIN CAN MAN shakes, rattles and rolls searching every dead-end alley and winds up on the threshold of the post-nihilist space age, disillusioned with every tried prescription for meaning, looking for the new frontier in which to "build a world closer to our hearts' desire".
