Good Day

Synopsis:
As briefly described by Women's Wear Daily: "GOOD DAY is an interview by a sarcastic and independent old lady of an ambitious young man for an undisclosed position. At the start, the lady is alternately nasty and apologetic, the young man restrained and polite. As the interview proceeds, the relationship changes and it soon becomes apparent that the lady is digging beneath the man's exterior clean-mindedness and supermorality. What she finds there is sadism, and when he sees it too he is ruined. He is finally hired as a domestic-the ultimate reversal of the dignity he had insisted upon at the start. The play is stating a basic truth about virtue as self-deception and as reality and, in outline, is pretty neat about it." In the end all pretense is stripped away, and we glimpse not only the truth about both of them but also the harsh and disturbing fate which is inescapably theirs.

Hurricane Of The Eye

Synopsis:
We are presented with an affluent couple; she is eroding her husband's intellect with inanities; he is sterilizing her womanly soul with his lack of affection and physical attentions. They are joined by an uninvited, unidentified black visitor, who stays-and stays. He announces that he has come to make a business deal, that he has certain information about the husband, and that the husband will want to buy his silence. But he never divulges his secret. He does, however, inspire fear-and physical interest-in both the husband and wife, and both come separately to confide in him. Ultimately the visitor and his mysterious secret are rejected, but beforehand there are insinuations, fantasies, moments of warm-hearted understanding and even suggestions of homicide in the give and take of the eloquent verbal byplay. In the end a "joyous calm" descends, leaving hints of meanings undefined but, with this, an illusive and tantalizing awareness of the true nature of reality.

Little Fears

Synopsis:
Concerned with the frictions and fears which build up between men and women in their lives together, the play juxtaposes two couples of varying temperament. In the case of the first couple, the husband is suave, articulate, and merciless in his castigation of his wife. He rarely raises his voice, but the venom is there and the seething contempt it conveys leaves the wife helpless and vulnerable. She can only protect herself with feigned indifference, covering the inadequacy she feels, the failure she doesn't understand. In rapid alternation the other couple is presented; she is a compulsive duster and polisher who calls herself "Mommy;" and he a sleek younger man who leaves her each evening for activities elsewhere while she assumes a guise of casualness about his assignations. The scenes between the two couples continue to alternate, and gradually we are aware of growing changes in both of them. The bullied wife moves from despair to defiance-eventually summoning the courage to ignore her husband's cruel ragging and go off on her own. The neglected wife grows more open in her pathetic hints on the need for love and companionship, her obsessive neatness giving way to mounting carelessness-until she becomes a slattern. In the end the mysteries deepen-but in their disturbing statement the author captures our imagination and turns our thoughts to an informed examination of the "little fears" that are in all of us.
