Box for One

Box for One offers an unusual opportunity to an actor. The "box for one" is a lonely outdoor telephone booth. A young man goes into the booth, dials a number and asks if there's a message for him. As he starts to leave, the phone rings. A girl is calling her boyfriend, but obviously she's reached a wrong number. The young man tricks her into giving him her number, but she hangs up on him. The tension within the young man is beginning to build. Clearly someone is out to get him, and as he's apparently outside the law himself, he can't call the police for help. He tries other numbers hoping for help, but there's none. He calls the girl who spoke to him before, and now he needs her help desperately, but the girl thinks this is just a joke. The play delivers its promised climax and it's tremendous!
