This is a collection of five plays by Arthur Milner. They were first produced between 1984 and 1990, during a period when the author was playwright-in-residence at the Great Canadian Theatre Company in Ottawa, Canada. All feature Milner's fast-paced dialogue, quick and unexpected humor, and sharp political eye.

Arthur Milner has worked in theatre for 40 years, as a playwright, resident playwright, director, artistic director, educator and dramaturge. His most recent plays are Facts, a murder mystery set in the Palestinian West Bank (which opened in Ottawa, Canada, and has been produced in Palestine in Arabic, Istanbul in Turkish, and London, U.K.); and Getting to Room Temperature ("a hard-hitting, sentimental and funny one-person play about dying"). He is a featured columnist at Inroads, the Journal of Canadian Opinion. He lives with his wife, theatre director Jennifer Brewin, in Val-des-Monts, Québec; Toronto, Ontario; or Calgary, Alberta.
