Description: "In A Three Martini Lunch well-known playwright Clem Martini shakes things up with a triple round of plays. Conversations with My Neighbour's Pit Bull finds Robert Teller, a pathologically analytical professor of philosophy, trying to befriend the local canine while dealing with his precocious daughter, Ellen, and his obnoxious neighbour, Tyler. In House of Glass twelve-year-old Ellen must make amends with her obsessive neighbour Beth for stealing condoms from her store. Up on the Roof places an unwitting Robert on a rooftop with a dueling couple who must come to terms with their disintegrating lives and an uncertain future.". "The heated neighbourhood battle in each of these plays becomes a microcosm of a larger, global one. Each raises important questions about the nature of violence, racism and human rights. Each involves characters who must choose between taking charge of their lives or being mere creations of past events. Welcome to Clem Martini's neighbourhood!"--BOOK JACKET.
