The horrifying things that we do to one another, and the lengths to which we go to try to repair them, take center stage in this assemblage of one-act plays from Modernist masters. Anton Chekhov's riotous farce, The Marriage Proposal, is followed by August Strindberg's exploration of infidelity in The Stronger. Pablo Picasso's only play, Desire Trapped by the Tail, offers a funny, abstract take on personal relationships. The stories conclude with Dust of the Road by Kenneth Sawyer Goodman, where we encounter Judas eternally wandering the earth, trying desperately to undo the damage he has done.

This production is recommended for mature audiences.
