THE STORY: A young actor, cued by his wife, is struggling to learn his lines in a new play. Inevitably, their attention wanders, and before long they are deep in a discussion of sex and role-playing—with alarming results. What began casually moves briskly toward ultimatum and confrontation, and both are stunned to realize that their relationship, if it is to continue, will demand a great deal more understanding and concern from each of them than they have heretofore contributed.
Particularly suitable as a companion piece for
Actors, this antic and revealing short play can be just as effectively presented by itself.
“…Written with great economy and humor.” —The New York Times.
Included in the collection
Actors and At Home.
