Publisher's Synopsis
With their striking deconstructive portraits of human deceit, these two plays by Mario Fratti satirize contemporary attitudes toward sex, gender, and marriage. In Sister, a young man discovers a family secret, shocking him out of his mindless machismo. In Lovers, a timid young wife searches for female solidarity in lesbian subculture, but only finds confusion. Both works demonstrate Fratti's ability to expose the secret agendas that drive people to dishonesty and betrayal.
