Ben, the play's central character, is a doctor who believes he has solved world hunger when he figures out how to rejigger the metabolisms of animals to tolerate eating their own kind. He ends up ruining the global ecosystem.

Directed by Andre Gregory, the cast of Grasses of a Thousand Colors stars Julie Hagerty (Cerise), Emily Cass McDonnell (Rose), Wallace Shawn (Ben) and Jennifer Tilly (Robin).
