About the Show
An American professor, Michael Wells, is captured and held hostage in a windowless cubicle in Beirut. His wife, Lainie, has wiped bare a room in their United States home so that, at least symbolically, she can share his ordeal. This is the setting for both imaginary conversations between husband and wife, and real conversations with two other players, an ambitious reporter set on getting the story out and an accomplished State Department official who would prefer the story remain quiet. As the story moves forward we learn that conflicting interests, while based on good intentions and sound principles on each side, can have dangerous and often deadly results. Such is the state of the world we live in now, as Two Rooms written in 1988, still rings true today.
