Synopsis: "The Flu Season really isn't about the flu or the season, of course. It's about a man and woman, called just that, Man and Woman, who meet and grow close as patients in a mental hospital, and their doctor and nurse, called (you guessed it) Doctor and Nurse, who have their own peculiarities and don't help their patients much. Only The Flu Season is not really about all that, either. It's as much about the commentators, Prologue and Epilogue, who watch from the sidelines and interrupt to discuss the story that's unfolding. What it's about, in fact, is the process of writing the play (or the creative process in general). The two figures represent two sides of the creative impulse. Prologue is the earnest, optimistic voice early in the process, confident of his mastery. Cynical Epilogue is the wised-up voice of experience, after facing problems and rewrites: 'For what it's worth, which is probably very little...'"

Cast requirements: Prolgue: A narrator, Male or Female, any age. Must have a clear speaking voice; Epilogue: A narrator, Male or Female, any age. Must have a clear speaking voice; Man: Intelligent, Scrappy, 28-40; Woman: Intelligent, delicate, 28-40; Doctor: Male, Distracted, 50's; Nurse: Female, maternal, dignified although distracted, 50's
