About the Book

The world of the theater has had a magical allure for me, ever since that afternoon as an eighteen-year-old wandering around mid-town with several hours of my hands before my bus’s departure, I purchased a matinee ticket to see, ‘Man of La Mancha.’ Although I’ve spent almost all of my life as a writer creating novels and short fiction, I have always loved seeing live theater and reading the works of O’Neill, Miller, Williams, Lorraine Hansberry, Chekhov, Shaw and Shakespeare, among others. Great theater brings together great writing and all the brilliant effects of the live stage; actors whose voices, gestures, laughter, shouts, and whispers are as close and tangible as those of the people you live with; the genius of costume design, lighting and stage sets that carry you to a completely different realm, using no more space than the area of your living room. The three of mine in this volume, a comedy and two others, mixing comedy with elements of tragedy, make up my second book of plays. Together with the first, they are my contribution to that magical world I love no less than I love the world of great fiction.
