About this piece
She reacts to He's request for separation
Summary
This one act play starts right off with an argument. He and She are in a living room. She is lying in a long chair, smoking a cigarette and reading a book. He is sitting at a table, trying to write. The argument starts when He complains that the lamp doesn't have enough oil and escalates to him complaining about her friendship with Hank and her "spiritual infidelity". Eventually he suggests that "they ought to separate" and this monologue (intercut with He's dialogue) is She's answer.
