Arriving home to his family which includes his depressed mother, philandering father, confused sister, introverted nephew and a neighbor who has always been in love with him. Leo tries to test his principles on this group. The only problem is - he can't get them to read the manifesto. Leo's visit does, however, bring change to the family. Although Leo's mother accuses him of being "addicted to hope," the play's moving ending suggests that the desire to save the world and the need to dream is born with each new generation. | |||||

Synopsis: | Sally, a "liberated" young woman who is out to establish the equality of her sex in the plumbing trade, is assigned by the union to work with Rog, a middle-aged master plumber who obviously feels that a woman's place is in the home. At first they are oil and water, but Sally is determined to master her craft no matter how snide and brusque Rog might be, and gradually, in a series of sometimes funny sometimes poignant short scenes, Sally gains Rog's acceptance and even his respect. In the end, however, Sally wearies of the uphill struggle and concedes that she has taken on more than she can cope with-much to the unexpected consternation of Rog, who, in a deftly understated final scene, has to admit that Sally has turned out to be a pretty good apprentice after all | |||||

Synopsis: | Neil, a successful lawyer, has a surprise visit from his sister and mother, who drag him into a long overdue family discussion. With the arrival of his wife, Susan, Neil becomes a pinball in a battle of wits. It's difficult to know who's telling the truth and who's telling some 'whopping lies'. Neil's logical approach to life probably serves him well in a courtroom, but here in his own living room, the rules are a little different. One answer leads to four or five more questions; 'That's what's always bothered me about questions'. In a post-post-modern world, in New York of all places, everyone from waiters to lawyers walk alone with their own perceptions of the world. What happens when these perceptions are all forced into one family, in one tiny room, for 1 hour and 45 minutes? | |||||
