Theme: Abusive/Obsessive
“Judging from television and tabloid news these days, you’d think everyone in the country is either abusive or obsessive…. [We have] a young woman trapped by the elements and a dependent relationship; a self-destructive adolescent (or two); a man forced to confront the meaning of his brother’s criminal but saving act; a chair that does the dirty work; an unlikely pair of Solomons dividing the baby; a man whose abused past breaks down his adult defenses; and some people who just don’t want to let go.”
