Starmann depicts a society which, because of irritants in the air, have forgone all communication with the throat, and, because of low-visibility due to a omnipresent low-flying cumulus cloud, have come to depend upon full-body gestures for all communication.

Knowing the time with her father was drawing to a close, she asks, how might any Shakespearean play be extended?
