+ Variations on The Candide Campaign,
a performance series by the Plaintext Players. +

In SLQT, the Candide Campaign is over, all but the shouting. And as we all know, numbers never lie, and history never listens. Who should have won? Who did win? The six parts of SLQT embody fleeting glimpses of the Candide Campaign drama: you figure out the outcome.

SLQT was a project for the X-Art Foundation's blast5drama, where it was linked off the phrase "a long long time" in the "Crossroads" story. A slightly different version was shown at Sandra Gering Gallery, New York, and ID MOO in December 1996 and January 1997.
