Production
Overview
The scene is a motel outside of Boston, a depersonalized, antiseptic
environment into which, one after the other, come five sets of
travelers. There is a well-to-do
couple on a visit to their married daughter, a father and his latently rebellious
son en route to a Harvard Interview, a pair of liberated college students, intent
on a weekend of passion, and an embittered doctor in the process of getting a
divorce Although the various occupants of the motel room are often on stage at
the same time, they neither see nor hear each other, and it is quickly evident
that their shared location is, in reality, five different rooms. But, as heightened
by the silent proximity of the other characters building, in the end, to a kaleidoscopic
pattern in which their separate storied blend and re-blend into a subtle but
telling indictment of the shortcomings, large and small, of life in contemporary
America.
