...Headplay is also the story of a couple. They first appear rather lightly musing on how the Tibetan Book of the Dead got under their bathtub. As the play progresses the woman gets more involved with drugs and the man more withdrawn into meditation. When communication between the two becomes impossible, the woman decides to leave, shaking the man momentarily out of himself. He asks her to come back in a week when they will go on the best trip ever-the ultimate trip...
...delicate mating dance begins. If the four like each other, they arrange a second encounter. The scenario is usually the same whether only two couples or as many as a dozen participate: extra towels are laid out, for there is "a constant traffic into and out of the bathtub and shower" (swingers are fanatics about personal cleanliness); candles or blue lights may be arranged; and sometimes a projector is set up to show stag films.

The tactic was so successful that some observers...
...fourth floor of the Hamilton for two years. The apartment is a horror. In the bathroom, peeling paint drips leaking water from the toilet in the bathroom above; a film of water containing feces gleams dully on the floor. Roaches and other bugs swarm over the walls, the bathtub and sink. A rotting pipe in the corner has a dual purpose: it doubles as the children's "tree;" because Mary is afraid to allow the children outside, the youngsters' occasionally exercise by climbing the pipe when...
