Mūthographos:  from the Greek mūthos, composer of fables, and graphos, meaning a writer, a writing, or an instrument for transmitting.  A graph is a map that visualizes a system of interrelations and combinations.  It is also a sign system-- one that links a would be mythographer and vagabond graduate student, with a reclusive architect and a handful of flat busted tramps, and suggests that mapping and drawing, like building and traveling reveal the folly underlying most foundations.  A play about hobos, glyphs and constructions.
