His Minute Hand

Synopsis:
This is a developmental preview of a new play by Stephen Kaliski. Officers Rip Lamplight and Charles Gawking play cards as they await the birth of Charles's first son. Rip's company seems genial, but the clock on their friendship is ticking: after the birth, Rip must exterminate Charles for permitting his wife to venture outside, a breach of their country's new and inexplicable wartime law. at the same time, Rip's own restive wife Hilda faces a complete meltdown that only her husband can help her to avoid. Tempted with breaking the same law as Charles, Rip finds himself helplessly stuck between his obligations to his family and his obligations to his country. at what point does treason become the only healthy option?
