Outline of Play

When Mel is made redundant he starts to fight a battle with the environs of New York: the pollution and the paper-thin walls of the high rise apartment. When his apartment is burgled and his psychiatrist dies with $23,000 of his money Mel has a nervous breakdown.

It is on recovery that we come to esteem him all the more. For Mel and his wife and people like them have the resilience and the grit to survive.
