30 Minutes to Charlie by Nick Zagone. Kline and Reid are on a deadline. They’ve got a very important meeting with Charlie in 30 minutes. But when their plans hit a snag and they’re forced to visit a Vegas Emergency Room, their 30 minutes begin to slowly tick away.
Pvt. Wars by James McLure. Three G.I.s recovering from Vietnam injuries while away their time on the terrace of an Army hospital. Gately, a hillbilly, fiddles compulsively with a disemboweled radio; Silvio, a streetwise, big-city type, is addicted to flashing (even though his sex organs have suffered—he thinks—irremediable battle damage); while Natwick, a prissy rich kid from Long Island, writes letters to his mother telling her how much he wants to become a close friend of Gately (while omitting mention of how actively Silvio dislikes him).
Ways and Means by Noel Coward The story concerns an heiress and her gambling husband, who are plagued by debt and embarrassment as everything seems to always go wrong for them. Their honour is saved just in time when a disgraced chauffeur tries to rob them but amiably ends up pulling them out of a hole.
The Actor’s Nightmare by Christopher Durang. Ever have one of those dreams where you show up for a test and don’t know the subject matter. For accountant George Spelvin the nightmare is real when he ismistaken for an actor's understudy and forced to perform in a play for which he doesn't know any of the lines.
