Six plays, united only by the fact that they take place in one and the same suburban motel room:
Problem Child,
Criminal Genius,
Risk Everything,
Adult Entertainment,
Featuring Loretta, and
The End of Civilization. Transients, lovers, the haunted, the hunted, the desperate, the dumb, each “strut and fret their hour upon the stage and then are heard of no more.
