Green Doors

A crisp, dialogue‑driven opening pulls listeners into a bustling private practice where the sharp‑tongued Dr. Lewis Pryne navigates a parade of oddball visitors. When the genial but evasive Dick Wilder drops in with a “silver‑plated” patient who cannot speak, the scene instantly sketches a cast of wealthy socialites, secretive patients, and a secretary who records every word with a dry humor that hints at deeper tensions.

The narrative balances witty banter with a subtle examination of class, privilege, and the hidden wounds that surface in therapy rooms. As the doctor’s disdain for affluent clients clashes with his compassion for the mute newcomer, listeners sense a simmering mystery that will unravel beyond the waiting room. The first act sets up a compelling portrait of professional intrigue and personal idiosyncrasies, inviting you to hear how each character’s façade begins to crack under the weight of their own secrets.
