As Michael Smith describes "… Ribman has plunged into history and written a play about eleventh-century England and its pacifist King Ethelred. Ethelred has negotiated a treaty with Sweyn of Denmark whereby England pays tribute in silver and Sweyn gives his daughter Thulja is hostage to guarantee the peace. But Ethelred has hawks to contend with—the belligerent Earl of Sussex, his own hot-headed son Edmund, and a blood-thirsty mother-in-law—as well as a frustrated and jealous queen and a grasping Bishop. Eventually the proud Edmund kills four Danish immigrant farmers, picks a fight with the Danish ambassador, and is himself accidentally killed. His grandmother, the old Queen Alfreda, kills Thulja in vengeance, and the Danes prepare to invade England. At the end of the play Ethelred, who has sorrowfully taken refuge in a monastery, is being urged by even his most dovish advisers to march against the Danes and defend his throne. He refuses." And so the judgment of history goes against him—this benevolent, moral man who wanted only to bring a better life to his people, and to free them from the tyranny of constant, senseless wars.

includes The Son Who Hunted Tigers in Jakarta, Sunstroke, The Burial of Esposito

The first play, THE SON WHO HUNTED TIGERS IN JAKARTA, begins arrestingly as a suburban couple discover an intruder in their living room at 3 A.M. The well-dressed prowler claims that he stumbled in by mistake on his way home from a party; the husband is inclined to believe his story; the wife does not. From then on, the tension and excitement develop inexorably. (2 men, 1 woman.) In the second play, SUNSTROKE, a pudgy, eager Peace Corpsman arrives to take over the duties at a Pacific island, replacing an eccentric couple who have apparently turned the outpost into an antebellum Southern plantation. Humor and fantasy mingle as the well-educated, young native he first encounters turns himself into a grinning, shuffling "darkie" at the others' arrival. (3 men, 1 woman.) The third play, THE BURIAL OF ESPOSITO, is a touching and powerful study of a father who has lost a son in Vietnam and whose grief and guilt are so great that he convinces himself that the boy is still alive—and arises from his coffin to forgive him. (3 men, 1 woman.)
