Kitchen Sink Productions presents: Two Rooms by Lee Blessing.

The “two rooms” of the title are depicted as one on this simple stage. The first, a windowless cubicle in Beirut, where Michael, an American hostage, is being held by Arab terrorists. And the second, a room in his home in the United States, which his wife, Lainie, has stripped of furniture so that, at least symbolically, she can share in his nightmare.

A reporter, Walker, tries to prod Lainie into taking umbrage at what he labels “government ineptitude and inaction,” while a representative from the States Department, Ellen, attempts to treat the matter of Michael’s kidnapping with dispassionate efficiency and professional detachment. Lainie must make the impossible decision of whether to publicly expose the State Department for their effortless attempt to rescue her husband, at the risk of putting Michael’s life in further danger, or to remain silent while nothing is done to save him.
