Vivie Warren, emancipated, intelligent and self-sufficient, is
astounded to learn her mother rose from poverty to riches through
prostitution - and also that she is now part owner and operator of a
chain of brothels. Mrs. Warren ably justifies her past - attacking a
hypocritical society that rewards vice and oppresses virtue. Mrs.
Warren states that poverty and the society that fosters poverty are
the real villains and that life in a brothel is preferable to life in

faith healer Frank has gone all over Wales and Scotland with his
wife, Grace, and his manager, Teddy. In their respective monologues,
Frank, Grace and Teddy tell their differing versions of the healer's
performances and of a terrible event that slowly comes into focus.
In this darkly lyrical tale, the author has created a metaphorical
portrait of the artist as both creator and destroyer through the
shifting memories of the three characters.</font></font></p>

a large, tastefully appointed Sneden's Landing townhouse, the Deputy
Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though only a flesh wound,
four couples are about to experience a severe attack of farce.
Gathering for their tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding
in the other room and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer Ken
and wife Chris must get "the story" straight before the
other guests arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount,
the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. </font></font>
