When a computer matched man and woman meet via long distance television, a transmission time lag results in crossed questions and crooked answers, misunderstandings, tears, and a surprise resolution. Overtones of totalitarianism, over population, regimentation and the communication gap surround the play's wry comments on the nature of the sexes. A natural for contests or wherever a strong, short entertainment is required, this classic play is effective on a bare stage or in an elaborate production.
