In this two-person, one-act play Chaikin and Shephard explore murder, its motivations and the nature of evil and love. In 1985 Chaikin suffered a stroke which left him with aphasia - virtually unable to communicate his troughts. It took ten years before he recovered sufficienfly to be able to direct, and he still must struggle to communicate his every idea. But the result is a beautiful, light-filled work, one of the more heartening of his plays.

"When The World Was Green" is quite different from the earlier sets. It features two characters and a much more conventional linear dramatic structure. It's difficult to imagine a better production of the play.
