Summary: "Masks" by George Middleton is a collection of one-act plays of contemporary life written in the early 20th century. The opening play, "Masks," revolves around Grant Williams, a dramatist, and explores themes of artistic integrity and the struggles between personal ambition and the expectations of domestic life. This collection aims to reflect societal dynamics and may uncover deeper questions about identity, relationships, and the essence of art." "At the start of "Masks," we are introduced to Grant Williams and his wife, Jerry, who have recently celebrated the success of Grant's play, "The Sand Bar." As they revel in the newfound recognition, hints of Grant's internal conflict begin to surface—despite his commercial success, he grapples with questions about authenticity and artistic integrity. The domestic scene unfolds in their modest New York City apartment, showcasing their interactions that reflect both love and the underlying tensions tied to Grant's career and the changes it brings. This opening segment sets the stage for an exploration of the complex relationship between a creator and his characters, leading to the dramatic encounters that follow."
