We see the differences in the two "Subjects" as we follow them through their introduction, their growth in getting acquainted, their ultimate joining, and, of course, procreation. (The procreation part got a little ugly at the actual moment of birth, but, luckily, they survived it.)

Unfortunately, the whole thing was supervised by two rather unorthodox Lab Technicians who, against explicit instructions, couldn't help tampering. They really should have left well enough alone, but they felt so bad because "Man" seemed to be at a definite disadvantage in several situations.

In the end, the two "Subjects" grew to maturity and had to acknowledge that, even through the rough spots, the whole thing was quite worth it because, in fact, they grew to love each other very much.

This is a touching and funny play that involves only two on-stage Actors. The set is simple and the message is a happy one.
