A low table contains writing materials and other required articles such as matches, oriental cigarettes, and a leather case of express money checks.
[When the curtain rises Billy is walking about restlessly. Danesi, in a delicate morning goxvn, is signing express checks. She rises and stretches out luxuriously upon a divan.
Billy.
[After standing looking out one of the arches at the hack. Shrugging his shoulders.] Aw! this makes me sick!
Danesi.
[Moving to divan.] you're so unromantic!

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a one-act play set in a luxurious hotel in Biskra, on the edge of the Algerian desert. It follows the story of Jane, a young and romantic American woman, and her practical husband, Billy. While Jane is captivated by the exotic allure of the desert and its inhabitants, Billy remains skeptical and longs for the comforts of home. The play explores the themes of romance, adventure, and cultural differences. Jane's fascination with the Orient and its people leads her to question her own life and values. Billy, on the other hand, represents the more grounded and pragmatic perspective, constantly trying to bring Jane back to reality. Through the characters' interactions and the vivid descriptions of the exotic setting, the author delves into the complexities of human relationships and the search for meaning in life. This play is a thought-provoking and entertaining exploration of the clash between dreams and reality, and the enduring power of love and connection.
