The story covers more than fifty years of the life and love of two artists in New York City, living in adjoining apartments. Their life and times constitute a small and memorable model of America from the victory years after World War II, down to the dubious battles of the twenty-first century.

A] deeply abiding love." -L A Weekly "Donald Freed is a writer of blazing imagination, courage and insight. His work is a unique and fearless marriage of politics and art. I take my hat off to him." -Harold Pinter "Donald Freed is the most political and pertinent of all American playwrights." -Studs Terkel "We are in the presence of an outstanding dramatic artist, one of huge intelligence, political daring and theatrical imagination." -The Gate Theatre, Dublin
