Includes A Summer's Day Dream of Autumn and Winter These three seasonal plays are typical
Fosse imbuing apparently mundane situations with an almost hypnotic intensity. In A Summer's
Day an old widow remembers the day many years before when her husband went out to sea in a
terrible storm. In a series of continuous but chronologically distinct scenes Dream of Autumn
shows a man unexpectedly meeting an old friend: she will become his second wife and cause him
to fall out with his family. In Winter a fascinating but mercurial woman tries to seduce a
businessman but once he has given up his family and career he realises may have mistaken her
intentions.
