The Firefighters locate and drag onstage the limp body of the Arsonist, a young man who had lost his life while vengefully setting fire to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment. Finally, the Undertaker enters and prepares the Arsonist’s funerary makeup, periodically explaining the creative art and science of postmortem restoration. This leads to further questioning of this massive upheaval in their lives: extensive safety rules and regulations could not prevent or explain the Arsonist’s violent behavior and the destruction of their homes, so now they too have to “get creative.” Yet, despite the increasing importance of creative thought in solving modern problems, the Women find the lack of answers unsettling – and find themselves in a realm of expanding insecurity.
