A series of four unrelated, one-act plays by Robert Anderson. In The Shock of Recognition, a producer argues with a playwright over the inclusion of nudity in their newest collaboration. The Footsteps of Doves focuses on a reluctant husband and his wife shopping for twin beds after many years of marriage. In I'll Be Home for Christmas, Chuck and Edith realize how empty their marriage has become as they await the arrival of their adult children to celebrate Christmas. Finally, I'm Herbert presents a scattered conversation between Herbert and Muriel, an elderly couple with memory problems who try in vain to recall their earlier relationships.
