Published by Dramatists Play Service

This double-cast double-bill opens with a twenty-minute chamber piece - Last Tuesday - which finds commuters on a train from New York to New Haven absorbed with the sometimes comical, quotidian details of their lives as the horror of the outside world insistently - and shockingly - intrudes. (2M, 4W)
July 7, 1994 is a haunting hour-long exploration of a day in the life of a female physician working in an inner-city health clinic (2M, 4W)
"the hero of the evening is Margulies, whose idiomatic, finely observed writing and presiding intelligence sharpen a thoughtful and provocative evening to a finely penetrating point" ~ Hartford Courant
" a powerful drama about a new and devastating age of anxiety in the United States. JULY 7, 1994 ranks as an important work by a gifted playwright" ~ Chicago Tribune
