They meet for the first time in a hotel bar. The white male purchasing agent has a very large order that will soon be placed. He’s an underhanded guy and makes a deal for the order of which he has no authority to place. The second act takes place in her hotel room where he is found tied to the bed. She has learned that he lacks authority and has tried to use her. She is, as you might expect, not too happy. She is referred to in the script as being “hot”. We are looking for someone who can sell industrial products in a man’s world - someone who uses her sex appeal to get what she wants and someone who is hungry enough to go after it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Play synopsis:</b> A hotel bar.
