Writer Howard Meyer states that the play tackles, "how can someone, be driven, ambitious, very successful and still maintain a satisfying, intimate relationship? The play takes place in the world of fine art and also politics, but this question really applies to any walk of life. We are living in an increasingly driven world. How can relationships be protected and nurtured in spite of that? Can relationships be protected, nurtured in spite of that? "
