The Fourth Wall
Peggy has redecorated the living room and her husband Roger, can't stand it. Peggy's usual taste was overcome by a mysterious lapse which caused her to do the room as if it were a stage set. Everything faces one wall, (the 'fourth wall') which she's left bare, and which is really the audience. Something strange is going on, as everyone who enters the room begins to behave as if they were in a play, or even a musical. Julia, suggests they have Peggy put away, which would allow the two of them to have the affair they've never before thought about. Roger can't do that, and calls Floyd, a local theatre professor, to come over in hopes that he can 'Doctor' Peggy's play and bring it to a close, thus allowing he and Peggy to resume their happily married life.
