The play begins on a sunny winters day in what is believed to be a cross between the freezing wastelands of Scandinavia and the dingy American suburbs. The two main characters, Tommy and John, start the play by professing and exploring the limits of human knowledge. Then, they stumble upon an unknown substance, the yellow snow. This is followed by a pontification by John expressing the school of thought that all we can know of the universe is what we make up. This is where the first act ends.

abstract	The play begins on a sunny winters day in what is believed to be a cross between the freezing wastelands of Scandinavia and the dingy American suburbs. The two main characters, Tommy and John, start the play by professing and exploring the limits of human knowledge. Then, they stumble upon an unknown substance, the yellow snow. This is followed by a pontification by John expressing the school of thought that all we can know of the universe is what we make up. This is where the first act ends. The second act opens with the two boys quarreling, which many believe is representative of the constant fights between those of clashing ideologies. After finally hammering out a truce, the two decide that the best way to learn about the yellow snow is to directly experiment with it. Just as Tommy is about to eat the snow, however, a man called the STRANGER enters and prevents him from doing so. Many believe this is a metaphor for the restrictions on scientific inquiry by institutions such as government and religion. After finally making the stranger leave, the boys carry out their scientific experiment with the snow, which basically consists of Tommy eating it. He spits it out immediately to the jibes of John who asks him why he ate it in the first place. After another short fight, apparently learning nothing from previous experiences, they prepare to do the same thing as before with the "red snow" that formed from the red liquid that leaked out of the STRANGER's bag.
