Summary:
The collection opens with the now classic Moonchildren, described by Walter Kerr as 'the definitive play' about the young people of the '60s, a generation that no longer believes in traditional values but has not yet found values of its own. Fishing, a sort of unofficial sequel to Moonchildren, takes another look at these young people at a transitional point in their lives--over thirty--as they are trying to learn to trust each other and themselves. At Home and Abroad, two linked one-act plays, delve into the breakup of a marriage and its aftermath. Loose Ends, a play about the 'moonchildren' grown up, deals with two lovers' discovery, after a decade, that love is not enough.
