This brilliant collection of Horovitz's newest one-act plays can be mixed and matched to form several 'theme' evenings. For example, nine of these plays formed the highly-successful off-Broadway show 'Israel Horovitz's New Shorts': The Bridal Dance, Affection In Time (The Prologue), The Fat Guy Gets The Girl, Beirut Rocks, The Audition Play, The Hotel Play, Cat-Lady, Inconsolable, and The Race Play . Additionally, six of these plays were joined to create an evening called '6 Hotels': Fiddleheads and Lovers, Speaking of Tushy, Beirut Rocks, (intermission), The Audition Play, The Hotel Play, 2nd Violin. Recently, an off-Broadway show was created by Barefoot Theatre Company entitled 'The Middle-East (in pieces)', comprised of A Mother's Love*, Security*, Beirut Rocks, and What Strong Fences Make*.
