AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It concerns the domestic problem of an architect, his wife and their family of two children. The plot unfolds through the eyes of the central character, Stephanie Stewart, the architect's wife. [...] There is an ever-growing rift between Stephanie and Mike. As the play opens, they are quarrelling about the sudden changes of decor which she wants for their home. She cannot understand why her husband will not allow her to pay for the alterations with money his mother had given her as a gift. The argument is only one sympton of their growing apart. A little while later matters come to a head when Stephanie learns from her gossiping girl-friends that Mike is involved with another woman. When husband and wife finally face the issue, there seems to be no way to break the tension between them.'
