Ferryboat

Synopsis:
On the deck of a ferryboat moving across the Mississippi between New Orleans and algiers, two homeless young strangers meet by chance. She is amite, a girl in her teens; and he is Biff, a young man in his twenties. She is bound for New York, he for Texas, but both are really heading into the unknown, with only their expectations and longings to steel them against the uncertainties of what lies ahead. Their conversation begins casually and then, as old memories and new hopes are revealed, they find a magical closeness, at least for a fleeting moment. But then the whistle blows for the ferry slip, the spell is broken, and suddenly they are strangers again-perhaps to remain so forever.

Glory! Hallelujah!

Synopsis:
Play spans the Civil War.. . deals with the nature of wars and not the specific issues of that war. Deals with 'the bitch glory" . . . conviction of each side that God's on our side. Takes place with a family in Louisiana and Lee's army. Stylistically done. The realities of war, done with small intimate scenes (not large battles), is always in juxtaposition to the naive pursuits of glory

Limb Of Snow, A

Synopsis:
as outlined in The New York Post: "LIMB OF SNOW, the shorter play, is the one that is simply superb; it is also totally original, unlike anything in the contemporary manner. It takes place in a cabin in the High Sierras in the 1890s, just as the gold strikes are petering out. a girl has run away from home at 16, cutting herself off from her family forever, to marry a young man who hopes to make his fortune gambling in the mining camps. Now they are 21, she is pregnant, has already lost two infants, also a house that was washed away; the snow is piling upon a limb over the roof; it is time for something more stable. Her husband, a perpetual and likable optimist ('Don't think I ever have bad luck, just sometimes I don't have good luck') can't see it, can't stand the idea of giving up, being shrunk down to drab normality. all I can say is that the 40 minutes (or so) are absolutely alive and true, not just true but subtly, persuasively true."

Meeting, The

Synopsis:
In describing the play Jerry Tallmer says: "THE MEETING, at a picnic in an open field, is between an award-winning scientist at a New England college and his mistress, formerly his assistant, formerly his student, 18 years his junior, now head of her own department at another college perhaps a day's drive away. They meet and sleep from time to time, but it's been grating on the girl. We arrive at the situation at a familiar point; ditch your hateful wife, and marry me. The girl has also lately had a brief encounter with the scientist's nineteen-year-old son. It's what Miss Barlow does with this situation, in which the grating mounts from one to the other, that is alive and true and attention gripping from first to las."
