The story

While having dinner in a Manhattan restaurant, four friends—Max, Sy, Al, and Louise—debate whether the essence of life is comic or tragic. Al relates a real story of a troubled young woman named Melinda Robicheaux who shows up unannounced at a dinner party hosted by a couple, and a series of events involving affairs and a suicide attempt ensues. Playwrights Max and Sy, who specialize in tragedies and comedies, respectively, proceed to tell their own versions of Al's story.
