Belongings and Longings
Published by Dramatic Publishing
3 Male 2 Female
Lou and his friend, Pete, have arrived to collect Lou's things. For a while, Post mines the inherently embarrassing humor of the setup
But when Lou and Pete begin to walk out with pictures, stereo and furniture, Richard suddenly realizes that he may have inadvertently let a couple of burglars into the apartment
In the second scene, two archetypes of modern women - Diane who has chosen marriage and children and Jill who has chosen something else - meet and exchange views
The trick is that the husband of the first could well be having an affair with the second ... Jill breaks up with Pete, and that leads possibly to murder, but assuredly to a complete circle
Post writes with a shrewd ear for modem banter, a tantalizing affinity for Pinteresque mystery and a sublime dramatic architecture" ~ Chicago Tribune
"[Post's] willingness and his ability to explore the darker corners of that much traveled-but rarely illuminated-territory of romantic love and intimacy make these vignettes an intense and moving experience" ~ Chicago Sun-Times
