    About this ebook

    Gwen, Alex and Elena are discussing the near impossibility of maintaining one's honest in a largely dishonest environment when Gwen's boyfriend, Donald, drops by to announce that has been appointed a lecturer in botanical science at the university. That lead to an impromptu celebration during which the discussion is continued from a variety of viewpoints representing the interests of the participants – Donald, science; Alex a philosophy grad student; Elena, an artist; Gwen, a nurse practitioner. Events reach a climax when young Peter arrives for a painting lesson and instead serves as a lesson for the others.

    The general consensus is that change is urgent. Yet those claiming to work toward that end choose illusory paths that serve more as an impediment to the change they profess to seek. It is a closed loop -- a path that follows itself -- a safe at home tour rather than an expedition in search of wherever. My plays attempt to untangle the complex knots created by repeated trips to nowhere by focusing on the fearful simplicity of uncontaminated life where acceptance and rejection meet to hash out what's bothering them.

      DARLING, our English pointer, turns 127 (in dog years) this week. I am proud to report that she can still manage a definite, if slightly shaky, point. Moreover, my response, as I don’t shoot, still annoys her. She will stand, one paw raised, nose dir
