Publisher's Synopsis
"Four on the Floor" is a collection of four stage plays by author and screenwriter Steven Kunes. In "Hopeless Romantic," a famous author goes to the airport and finds himself seated beside an unknown woman who is reading his latest book. Should she speak to him? What will she say? "Clock Without Hands" is the long-awaited adaptation of Carson McCullers' final novel and incorporates recently-discovered story notes given to her by best friend Tennessee Williams. "Captain of a Lost Ship" tells the story of a teenage boy who offsets physical abuse and the squalor of his own family life by retreating into a fantasy world that allows him to "do what is necessary" to provide one good Christmas for his mom and siblings. "Then Again" sets its sights on two lost souls, Eleanor and Ted, who heal their fractured lives by stepping into the personas of Ania and Sam -- two immigrants at the turn of the century. In so doing, they prove Winston Churchill's admonition that "...the farther we look into the past, the farther we see into the future." "Each play is well-realized...intelligent, funny, poignant and stirs the imagination." -- Terrence McNally
