Bench At The Edge is a surrealistic black comedy that celebrates the gift of life through the loss of life. Held to his comatose body in a hospital bed by a long life support tube, Man One continues to live out a twenty five-year life support existence at the edge of an abyss. Over the years he has seen many a man and woman fling themselves into eternity. The "bullets" that make quick decisions and jump particularly fascinate him. Now Man Two appears as a distraught husband over the infidelity of his wife. They begin an encounter riddled with humor and empathy for the human condition and the pros and cons of life and death. As the ticking bomb pressure builds, other "bullets" interrupt the challenge Man One has encountered with Man Two's thorough "contemplation." As the edge looms closer and closer, a fight over cutting the life line to Man One thrusts the audience into a hard look at their own sense of life's challenge and the question of its value.

Muriel, a writer nearing 50 whose older lover won't live with her in Paris, meets a man on a train - Samuel, an Arab. He's attracted to her and pursues her, dropping in, asserting himself. She's willing to connect. He's passionate, then boorish, then jealous and possessive. He seems fixed on "Who's the strongest?," while she wants respect and trust. She's self-possessed as well as sexually charged, willing to laugh, and alternately firm and forgiving. He has little money, no immigration papers, few prospects, and a gambling jag. What does each want, and why does she stick with it? Is this colonial strife, war between the sexes, or a love story?
