Two Rooms

By Lee Blessing

Time Magazine’s Best Play of the Year in 1988, Two Rooms poignantly connects love to politics and the challenges of war. A civilian journalist is held hostage in a windowless cubicle in Beirut while, overseas in America, his wife holds vigil for his return. Lee Blessing’s moving play remains exceedingly relevant to modern life, exposing the struggles of everyday civilians in times of incredible hardship.
