Adversary, The

Synopsis:
a rational and brilliant scientist is confounded and terrorised as people close to him die by what appears to be spontaneous combustion. a psychotic cult leader presents himself to the scientist, admits responsibility for the burnings (which can never be attributed to him - In-deed what clues there are point to the scientist as murderer) and means to bring the scientist into his cult. This play is a battle between the powers of the rational and irrational, with the scientist forced to delve into his own darker side to finally defeat his adversary.

Man Who Drew Circles, The

Synopsis:
The father of three children died twenty years ago under mysterious circumstances, and now his son Harold is on the verge of suicide. Harold's family, including his own son Ted, gather to deal with Harold's problem, The theme of fathers manipulating sons is explored both in the past (exactly how did the old man die?) and in the present (will Harold succeed in manipulating Ted as his father manipulated him?). This is a taut psychological drama, filled with gallows humour, that snaps when the stories of the past and present merge for Harold in an almost fatal moment of truth

Nightlight

Synopsis:
Four people in a New York hotel (periodontist from Cleveland, his wife, his old college roommate, and an actress turned porn queen) find their lives, for an evening, interwoven. The Cleveland couple, frustrated by the limitations of their lives are fascinated by the New York pair, and are seduced and repelled in turn. The sophisticated couple play superior to Middle American values, but only to cover the thin hold on their own brittle lives. This is a bitter comedy that feeds on the sparks generated when two opposing life-styles clash. The final confrontations are fierce, with neither side emerging victorious.
