In Conversations With The Spanish Lady, a sleepless old railroad man describes hauling trains full of the dead across Canada during the World War I home-front plague of influenza that killed thousands of people

As he defends his life, a Spanish lady, cloaked in white, hovers over him as a spectral visitor (1man, 1 woman)

During Intermission, in the star's dressing room, on a disastrous opening night, old debts are settled while love and power vie for a place on the bill (4 men)

" powerful dramatic anecdote redolent with theatrical gossip at its bitchiest an extremely cunning play with all the fascination of eavesdropping on a particularly juicy scandal" ~ The Courier-Journal

"Anger, frustration and fear are the prevailing emotions in this well-written backstage drama. Schenkkan knows theatre people and the pressures that touch both their personal and professional lives" ~ The Louisville Times
