About the author

Jane Martin is the pen-name of a playwright speculated to be former Actors Theatre of Louisville artistic director Jon Jory. Jon Jory, Martin's spokesperson, denies being Jane Martin but has directed the premieres of Martin's shows.

Martin has traditionally been billed as a Kentucky playwright. While speculation about her identity centers around Jory, other theories have cited former Actors Theatre of Louisville Executive Director Alexander Speer, former Actors Theatre Literary Manager Michael Bigelow Dixon, and former intern Kyle John Schmidt.

Jane Martin's key credits include Anton in Show Business, Back Story, Coup, Cementville, Criminal Hearts, Flaming Guns of the Purple Sage, Vital Signs, and Talking With... Martin's Keely and Du won the 1994 American Theater Critics Association New Play Award and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.

[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great one act for 2 females. I saw it performed in my acting class by a couple of talented people, and it was great. It was very funny seeing 2 complete opposites, so opposite that they are almost talking past each other, all while during a very intense situation. I haven't found too many really good quality one-acts yet, there are a lot of poor ones out there, but this one is definitely worthy.
