Relationships in their comic and dramatic variety are at the core of this collection of what playwright Victor L. Cahn calls ‘chamber plays.’ All dramatize relationships between two people: sometimes to find love, sometimes to find self-assurance or power. All are also distinguished by an elegant wit and stylistic sophistication that makes these works literary as well as theatrical delights.
