Playwright Mark Dunn presents four audio plays about Southern women: Dix Tableaux, Van Choc Straw, PIGmalion, and Deep in the Heart.

The year is 1208, a time when most heiresses do their duty. But not Elsbeth of Camley, for she would rather join a holy order than be bartered off and expected to breed well and often. Elsbeth flees to Lambeth Abbey with her dower coin and unwittingly sets off a chain of events that threatens the balance of power in England. Because of his bold rescue of the lady and her dower, Sir Roger of Angelsey earns a barony and substantial amounts of land. But he must lose no time in making his betrothed his wife in order to keep his title. It's not an easy task.

Deep in the Heart, adapted from the award-winning comedy-drama The Deer and the Antelope Play, tells the story of an East Texas family - a mother, daughter, and grandmother - who face tragedy and assorted misfortunes head-on with the help of the strange young woman, believed to be a former prostitute, who comes to live with them.

Played out over the course of 10 years, Dix Tableaux is a story of friendship between two women in their 60s. Each year represents another reunion for Beverly and Addie, two participants in a series of annual tableaux sponsored by a museum in Dix, a small city in the South.

Althea Witlin has a 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle among her large collection that she's never worked on. She has less than a day to finish it because poor health has forced her to move in with her sister, without her puzzles. Van Choc Straw is a bittersweet comedy about tenuous family ties and the often stronger bonds of friendship that lattice the final years of our lives.
