...title is an umbrella for two amiable one-acters by Ireland's Brian Friel (Philadelphia, Here I Come!) that find tears in youthful exuberance and laughter in domestic conflict. In Winners, the curtain raiser, a betrothed young Irish couple joke and dream on a hilltop, planning their wedding, mocking the nuns and priests who have taught them. As they banter, a narrator (Art Carney), introduces a fragment of the future-the couple drown in a nearby lake. These are their last hours on earth, which take on new sweetness and meaning as the afternoon and their lives inexorably draw...
...Third Lover, Mercier, a writer jealous of the marriage of a more successful author, ruins their lives by unmasking the wife's infidelity, thus indirectly causing her death.

...Black poet and author Langston Hughes wrote a poem for White America to read. "I could tell you why I'm the way I am, but I don't want to, and you don't give a damn." Can this be the plight of the "American Dream"? Dear Lord what can it be, "justice" for all or from the White man's perspective, "just us" (meaning themselves)? Dear God in spite of what many say about your having turned your back on the Black people, I still want to be a minister. But what can I tell my Black congregation...
