These two one-act plays, performed together as a full theatrical event, are written by one of Britain’s most successful contemporary dramatists. THE PUBLIC EYE is a clever comedy about an engaging private eye, hired by a wealthy accountant who suspects his wife of infidelity. When the sleuth finds himself in a budding relationship with the wife, all associations are put at risk. THE PRIVATE EAR features another trio of characters. An introverted single man and classical music lover has invited a young woman and fellow concert attendee to dinner at his flat. Attempting to compensate for his own social inadequacies, he enlists the help of a dashing and suave friend during the meal—leading to unintended consequences. Together, these charming one-act plays were called “delightful” and “cheerfully entertaining” by the New York Herald Tribune when first produced.

Based on Ovid's transformation myths, METAMORPHOSES features classic characters of mythology and subtly mixes the ancient stories with contemporary language, humor, and thought. The themes of love, the inevitability of change, and the human ability to adapt to change are timeless, as is amply demonstrated by the sometimes eerie closeness of a vignette to the original lines from Ovid, which still manage to resonate with modern viewers. The Broadway production of METAMORPHOSES won a number of awards in 2002, and was also nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play.

Winner of a 1993 Obie Award, this apocalyptic urban fantasy urges society to "wake up" and recover the long-lost compassion for humanity, as this is the only way to save our world. As the play begins, Marisol Perez narrowly escapes a vicious attack by a golf club-wielding madman while traveling home on the subway. Later that evening, Marisol is abandoned by her guardian angel, who has been called to fight in a cosmic revolution. The war in heaven spills over into New York City, reducing it to a smoldering urban wasteland. Alone, without her protector, Marisol begins a nightmare journey to save herself while the fate of the universe hangs in the balance.
