From the award-winning author and screenplay writer, a trio of one-act plays depicting the spooky, strange, and tragic passage of guests through the same New York City hotel room (number 603).

The dialogue has the evocative spareness of Pinter, and [the] control of mood [is] menacing, mesmerizing. --TIME

The tangible mystery of these stories is grounded in the peculiar relationships that unfold slowly, producing an unrelenting uncanny atmosphere. In each play, a family member has recently died and the survivors are left to deal with the consequences.

  • In Tricks Gifford approaches the psychological territory of Kafka. We meet two men looking for something more than just sex from a prostitute. Are the men two halves of a severed personality?
  • In Blackout Danny and Diane, an Oklahoma couple of the 1930s, cannot move beyond the grief of a personal tragedy. Refusing to accept the death of her son, Diane seeks refuge in low-level deliriums.
  • In Mrs. Kashfi a young boy experiences a spooky visitation while his mother voyages into the sea of clairvoyance with a fortune teller.
