Two Rooms logo

by Lee Blessing

The two rooms of the title are a windowless cubicle in Beirut where an American hostage is being held by Arab terrorists and a room in his home in the United States which his wife has stripped of furniture so that, at least symbolically, she can share his ordeal. In fact the same room serves for both and is also the locale for imaginary conversations between the hostage and his wife, plus the setting for the real talks which she has with a reporter and a State Department official. In the end there are no winners, only losers, and the sense of futility and despair that comes when people of good will realize that logic, compassion and fairness have become meaningless when dealing with those who would commit such barbarous acts so willingly.
