August 14 – 30, 1997
At the Ontological Theater at St. Mark's Church
New York City

Description:
A lonely man meets the two women who make up the composite woman of his dreams. The first one is a dark spirit who draws him in sexually. She brings out the brooding artist. Is this the 'me' that he thinks he should be? Seems so, until a second woman enters the scene, fitting the mold of the perfect mate he has been constructing for years... using himself as the model, of course. He and Lady Two realize that it is IT, but now he must extract himself from Lady One. This extraction proves to be far more overwhelming than he'd bargained for when he discovers a web of unresolved feelings that he is too daunted by to face (or that he and Lady One are too deeply caught in to reconcile properly). How can he ever balance the drama of a rash but tangible passion with the need for true love? His indecision and bad timing cause fatal fissures in both relationships. He ends the day empty-handed. Too much love for one hour.
