A Summer in the Park is Allen's
account of his career as a government sponsored advocate heckler;
available from midday each Sunday, to teach the techniques of banter to
newcomers, and heckle on behalf of shyer members of the public. It is
an hilarious account of the techniques and vulnerabilities of the art
of performance, and a manifesto for Allen's anarchic utopia, in which
tolerance and opposition are freely intertwined with the exploration of
ideas.
