One act comedies/drama

Int.

Three short plays, a tragedy sandwiched between two comedies, are set in an apartment bathroom on the full moon. Revealed are the hilarious, tragic and touching secrets, dreams and realities of tenants whose lives change when they are unable to open an unpredictable bathroom door. In The Lunatic from Number Seven, manic self-discovery ensues when a failing artist is trapped in the bathroom while his girlfriend is away. Sing a Pretty Song is the chilling tale of an abused woman who confronts her demons and tires to make sense of her life. A young man finds himself tongue tied when the plumber he called turns out to be the woman of his dreams in Search and Rescue. If only he could get the door open and his foot out of his mouth.
