Synopsis

In this second portion of 24 HOURS, the plays deal with events taking place during the hours of one P.M. to twelve midnight. Again the range of subjects and people represented is as broad and diverse as the imaginations of the writers involved. Somehow, however, life seems brighter when the "wee hours" have been left behind, and the result is a predominance of humor, much of it offbeat and truly hilarious, although a balance of serious and poignant moments is also provided to leaven the mixture. Again the final result is a unified and yet richly varied program, as absorbing and entertaining as it is uniquely original.
