Two one-act takes on by Joyce Carol Oates.

THE MAIN ELEMENT: a hilarious perverse encounter between a vacationing suburban housewife, recently separated from her husband, and a booming businessman.

Tone Cluster: a chilling trig-comedy that calls for the form of an interview between a middle-aged, middle-class American few and the press.

Full-cast L.A. Theater Works performances featuring Edward Asner, Hector Elizondo, Don Reed, Joyce Van Patten, JoBeth Williams
