Is it okay to talk about your neighbor's penis? What about his wife's tits? These questions are explored in Play #3, a series of conversations that examine the nature of the heterosexual male relationship.

Centered around the hallway conversations of neighbors Pete and John, we start at their initial meeting and end at their climactic fight, and watch them choke each other. By the end, the play will have you questioning who is crazy and who is sane, and if you yourself are crazy for laughing at it. The production requires no props or scenery, and the dialogue is a treat for actors.

Published in Off Off Broadway Festival Plays, 31st Series.
