Enigmas: Short Plays 1979-1982

This volume brings together all the short plays of Eric Basso-Enigmas, plus The Armoire and Adele Pierre. In Nightlight, as two men recount their life stories to a young woman the boundary between truth and falsehood becomes increasingly blurred. The Lecture explores the reputation of a great thinker, with harrowing results to its audience of three. Gentlemen of the Old School reunites three old friends in a sinister comedy of misunderstanding, dark family secrets and revenge. In The Armoire, a dimwitted inspector conducting and investigation into a case involving exhibitionism and ritualized behavior, becomes caught in a dizzying web of conspiracy. The volume concludes with the powerful and disturbing Adele Pierre, in which a medium is confronted with a past that may, or may not, be her own.
