The Dearest of Friends and Spring Dance

A critical and popular Off-Broadway success, these evocative and beautifully written short plays blend humor and poignancy as they probe gently into the crises besetting a group of Texas friends and neighbors. In The Dearest of Friends, Vonnie is facing the crisis of a husband who is involved with another woman and who wants a divorce. Her friends are sympathetic to her plight, but cannot bring themselves to face its disturbing implications. In Spring Dance, several years have passed, and Annie is now confined to a sanatorium where asylum culture reflects the larger culture-but here the isolation is total and sadly irreversible.
