The People in the Glass Paperweight
by Gene McKinney

Produced on ABC TV, this play strikes a satirical blow against our society and fear of involvement.

A middle aged couple have insulated themselves from the world.

Wally creates totally useless inventions and Frances gives her paperweight collection a daily dusting.

Their only visitor in years is a fireman who answers Frances' false alarms when she thinks Wally's inventions are burning up.

The fireman tries desperately and unsuccessfully to awaken them to their responsibility in life.

A vivid, comic presentation of non involvement.
