Are they just playing make-believe to pass the time? Does the Old Man really have a message? Whether the invisible guests are real or not is unclear, but Old Man and Woman seem totally convinced. This whole invisible-guest thing makes us wonder if the old couple is just imagining all of this. The weird thing is that they're all invisible only the Old Man and Woman can see them. However, the Old Man doesn't feel capable of delivering the message himself, so he's hired a professional Orator to tell it to the crowd. The old couple is excited, because tonight pretty much everyone in the entire world is coming over to hear the Old Man's message. It's never clear what exactly this message is, but apparently it contains the meaning of life.
We learn that the Old Man has been working his entire life on a message to all of humanity. We're not exactly sure why their house is in the middle of an ocean, but we get the idea that just maybe the whole world has come to an end.
The play begins with an Old Man and an Old Woman chilling in their house, which is apparently completely surrounded by stagnant water.
