"...a fugue whose themes are the various aspects of love. It's primarily a comedy whose genuine sweetness never long disguises the bleak nature of the lives it's recording." --The New York Times

A lot can happen in a single night. In a rural Kansas diner on a wintry night, things heat up when stranded passengers of a cross-country bus explore love in all of its many guises. This enchanting comedic drama portrays the full spectrum of romantic relationships.

"...one of the most engrossing and entertaining plays that Miller has ever written. It is superbly, even flamboyantly, theatrical, complying with the classic unities of time, place and action, and Miller holds the interest with the skill of a born story-teller." --The New York Times

Two long estranged brothers - one a cop of limited means, the other a successful doctor - meet in the attic of a New York City brownstone to sort through their deceased parents' belongings. Each has paid a price to get where they are in life and their stories unfold in this penetrating family drama.
