Description

Fosse: Plays Two includes A Summer's Day, Dream of Autumn, and Winter.

These three seasonal plays are typical of Fosse, imbuing apparently mundane situations with an almost hypnotic intensity.

In A Summer's Day, an old widow remembers the day, many years before, when her husband went out to sea in a terrible storm.

In a series of continuous but chronologically distinct scenes, Dream of Autumn shows a man unexpectedly meeting an old friend: she will become his second wife and cause him to fall out with his family.

In Winter, a fascinating but mercurial woman tries to seduce a businessman, but once he has given up his family and career, he realises he may have mistaken her intentions.
