Projects to date include Sm all Talk About Chromosomes (1992/3), Where is Miss Yoko? (1993/4), The Caro usel Britannico (1994), Place + Target (1995/6) [a word play by Richard For eman], Euphoria (1997/8), and Running Time (1998/2000). PUR derives from 'p urim', the Jewish festival traditionally associated with the impromptu perf ormance of chaotic and fragmentary comic plays. In October 2000 the company took a break.
