scene is a sprawling farmhouse in rural Missouri, which is home to Ken, a
legless Vietnam veteran, and his lover, Jed, a horticulturist. They are visited
by old friends from college days, and former activists who agitated for what
they hoped would be a better world.. Their talk, as the play progresses, is
sharp and funny and, in the final essence, deeply revealing of lost hopes and
dreams and of the bitterness that must be fought back if one is to perceive the
good that life can offer.</span></p>

not a super model, just a twenty-something New York writer savoring the success
of his debut novel. Evan captures the attention of Alexa Vere de Vere, a
black-clad woman of mystery who’s made the world of celebrity her home. In
fact, it’s her religion. But, Alexa vanishes, leaving him to foot the bill for

industrial city, where a young woman commits suicide and an eminently
respectable British family is subject to a routine inquiry in connection with
the death. An inspector calls to interrogate the family, and during the course
of his questioning, all members of the group are implicated in some way in the
girl’s undoing. All of them knew her in one capacity or another. The family,
closely knit and friendly at the beginning of the evening, is shown up as
selfish, self-centered or cowardly, it’s good humor turning to acid, before the
evening is over.</span></p>

returns home to Palm Springs after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas
with her parents, her brother, and her aunt. She announces that she is about to
publish a memoir, dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s
history- a wound that they don’t want reopened. In effect, she draws a line in
the sand and dares them all to cross it. They are forced to reveal a painful
secret to her, in order to prevent the public from finding the truth.</span></p>

England known for his own coruscating wit and acidic misanthropy, he turns her
