Overview

Three of Ernest Thompson’s short plays are presented, each involving a surprise visitor. In the first, “A Good Time,” a vacationing California Highway Patrolman visits a young woman in New York who had told him if he ever came to New York, she’d show him a good time. In the second, “The Constituent,” a United States Senator drops in on a constituent who has been sending him scathing and profane letters for decades. Lastly, in “Twinkle, Twinkle,” a restless housewife who has been writing fan letters to a television soap opera star, receives a surprise visit by him on her husband’s bowling night.
