This fine work in the Pendragon cycle of plays enjoyed a sold out, critically acclaimed production at the world famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

The play is set in a beach bungalow. The young man who lives there has pulled a lost young woman from the ocean. Soon, she finds herself trapped in his life and torn between her need to come to rest somewhere and her certainty that all human relationships turn eventually into nightmares.

The struggle between his tolerant and gently ironic approach to life and her strategy of suspicion and attack becomes a kind of war about love and creation which neither can afford to lose. This is an offbeat, wonderful love story.

Premiere Production: First produced at the Theatre Barn at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst in the spring of 1974, directed by Marya Bednerik. In the summer of 1984, the play was produced in the Black Swan Theatre at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, directed by Dennis Bigelow.
