Synopsis
Open Secrets - Two One-act Plays
$10.99 Published by Samuel French Inc
4 Male 3 Female
These two one-act plays - Boy on Blacktop Road & The Stallion Howl - may be joined to make a full theatre evening or can be performed separately
If together, there is almost a complete overlap of cast
The subject is retroactive jealousy, specifically sexual jealousy ...
A seemingly happy couple in the Midwest is subjected to severe strain when the wife is left a large gift of money by a notorious womanizer with whom, presumably, she once had a relationship
Will the happy marriage now shatter?
Surprises occur, and the play/s makes a brave (but possibly reckless) attempt to answer Dr Freud's famous question - "What do women want?"
