Synopsis

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 (1 man and 1 woman). Particularly suitable as a companion piece forActors, this antic and revealing short play can be just as effectively presented by itself"… written with great economy and humor" ~ NY Times
