Intimate exchanges, a related series of plays totalling eight scripts, is a fascinating, often hilarious, new concept in stage management and character development.
The author even describes it as "a piece of theatrical lunacy".
Remarkably, this series of plays can be acted by just two actors, although more could be used if desired.
The plays begin with a woman faced with a small, fairly trivial decision.
Should she resist having the first cigarette of the day before 6pm?
On some nights her willpower is strong enough, on others it isn't.
The two quite separate chains of events that result from her choice are published under Volume I and Volume II.
In each, at the end of the first scene, another character has to make a further decision, this time of a slightly more important nature.
As each scene ends further and more crucial choices still have to be made, culminating in a major course of action.
Thus each play is a single strand of a much larger web of interconnecting scenes.
