In the Bedroom

A Series of Short Plays on a Single Set. These plays at 10 minutes or less were originally conceived to be performed in the transition period at the end of COVID for social distancing rehearsals. Each play is two characters in a bedroom with ages from 20s to 70s. But it is not the same couple at different stages.

Four Play
