Written by Jay Christopher (aka Jack Kelly) in 1984, The Affair in 22B revolves around the relationship of the two main characters, Abbey and Paul, who share their lives in a run-down New York apartment, and who are looking to build a successful and meaningful relationship, though Paul's eagerness towards conflict and negativity play an integral role in the downfall of the couple's companionship. Theatergoers will enjoy the quality of the dialogue, as its unique style is personified by quirky scenes and even quirkier characters.
