About
*The Exquisite Hour
A poignant drama
On a summer evening, a seemingly well-adjusted bachelor finds his life forever altered when an alluring stranger materializes in his backyard to ask the question, “Are you satisfied with what you know?” It's a romantic conversation piece, set in the age of the encyclopedia.
*NEXT
A comedy-drama set in an Army Induction Center where an overweight, over-age and over-wrought draftee has reluctantly reported for his physical. Confronted by an Amazon-like female sergeant, he tries every evasion he can think of to disqualify himself, but is ultimately shattered by the realization that nothing will stave off the inevitable. His final monologue, a harrowing exposure of bitterness and confusion, reveals the dilemma of a man to whom the meaning and purpose of his country have become unclear.
