This ten-minute play experiments withdirection of gaze. The same scene is duplicated thrice onstage in three separate units, and each character looks where the other characters would be if they were all in the same unit. This function is more than a neat trick; it also bolsters the journey they go on. They figure out how to start their "threesome" (whatever that may mean), and it ends with each of them looking distractedly towards different segments of the room, which so happens to be where their gazes intersect.
From the text of Threesome...
⚫ "DAWN: It's late.
SOMEONE (GRANT or CHASE): Yeah."
⚫ "Three identical compartments onstage. Each compartment is an n-by-n square which contains the
same furniture: one long seat, two chair seats, and a table. The A compartment is upstage, centerstage, and raised.
The B compartment is downstage stage right. The C compartment is downstage stage left."
