| Notes: | Rosemary and Maurice, long-married but childless, return from a night at the opera to find that they have been divested of all their possessions, right down to the toilet paper holder. Months later, they find that their habitat has been meticulously re-created in a storage facility. Ostensibly, the story involves finding out the who and the why of such an extraordinary chain of events, but it also exposes the abrasions and contusions, the fabrications and evasions that are common to many marriages. |
