ACT I
SCENE 1
SETTING: A windowless room with eight chairs set in a circle.
AT THE RISE: Elderly men enter the room singly or in twos and take their accustomed places. Two of them use canes. A young man and a younger woman also take their usual places.
STEVEN
I have two announcements: I won’t be here next week and CYNTHIA will take over the session; and secondly, there’s a good chance that we might be moved to a conference room on the first floor.
JERRY
