FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY

It is clear that our times are complex and that we are faced today
with complicated moral choices. AUNT DAN AND LEMON, written in the
context of four decades of the Cold War, is perhaps more timely now
than when it was written and first produced in 1985.  The play takes
us into the world of a young recluse who tells us of memorable summer
when she was eleven and came under the influence of a family friend
whom she calls "Aunt Dan."  The conversations that take place between
them in a small house at the bottom of an English garden form the
focus of this play about political orientation and the allure of
certain ideas -even when they lead to murder.

"Simply put, this is a play about how literate, civilized societies
can drift en masse into beastliness and commit the most obscene acts
of history."
New York Times

"I find this play courageous, cunning, very funny when the author
wants it to be, utterly individual and haunting. . . .  I shall think
and think about the play."
Victoria Radin, The New Statesman

Plays [like Aunt Dan and Lemon]that attack what we essentially are,
and do it without smugness, are few and far between.
John Peter, London's Sunday Times
