One Act

-

Notes: A verse play which the author calls an "exercise in one act."

Synopsis: There are two characters, the Wife and the Woman, who love the same man and who sit chatting pleasantly over teacups. They would speak of kind and gentle matters and would be civilized above all. But war and things of violence intrude so they turn to French, most civilized of all languages, for "we do not quarrel in French." But in so saying, they have returned to English and talk while waiting for the phone to ring, to bring them news of the man they love. As they wait they retell their memories of the man, and as each grows possessive and envious of the other's part in his life, they quarrel. Their anguish for the man they love and their anger at each other reaches a peak broken only by the ring of the phonetheir beloved "will live. The blood has stopped." And the Wife and the Woman sit quietly, peaceably, again.

Synopsis: In a remote section of the West, Brad owns the sole gas station and store. He also owns a small zoo where he cages the occasional wildcat or whatever wildlife can be caught in the area. The cages are Brad's obsessionthey remind him of man's supremacy over nature; they remind him that he is a master in this village where everybody is in debt to him. But he is not master over his daughter Janna, who has fallen in love with Brad's outspoken enemy, Dave Ricks. But if Brad's weapons are force, hatred and violence, Dave's are peace, love and gentleness. The two men battle over Wally Wilkins, an innocent boy of seventeen who was hidden away by his demented mother, and who is now free since his mother died. Because the boy is supposedly in possession of a large sum of money, Brad pursues Wally, whom Dave and Janna are escorting to safety. When Brad catches up them he realizes that his pursuit of Wally has alienated him from his daughter. At the end of a night of wild drunkenness Brad imprisons Wally in a cage. To free Wally and Janna from her father's dominance, and to affirm the deeper strength of the gentle over the violent, Dave gives up his life.

Notes: An exciting play for twenty-one women, most of them young. A fast-moving drama and a timely comment on idealism and personal ethics

Synopsis: The scene is a fashionable Junior College for young women, and the story shows how a sincere and intelligent alumna returns to her Alma Mater with her idealistic younger sister, who enters as a student. The director of the college, a conscientious elderly woman, is responsible to a hard-headed board of directors, one of whom has a daughter who is a student. This student, a twisted and jealous girl, uses the threat of her father's influence to throw a suspicion of guilt on two students, not to mention a servant, all of whom are innocent. One of the students implicated refuses to be blackmailed and the director of the college must face the issue of compromising with her own best standards of right and wrong. Eventually she takes matters into her own hands, and decideswith the help of the alumna and the latter's sisterto stand by her guns. The director, though she realizes at last that the alumna is right in fighting compromise and deceit, has not the courage to see the fight through to the end, though the alumna and her sister do. Incidentally, one of the forms of blackmail used by the unscrupulous girl who precipitates the crisis is to force a Jewish girl, whose religion has been concealed, to do her bidding.
