Short Synopsis: Intimate Exchanges features two actors playing ten roles in a cycle of eight plays (each with two alternate final scenes) which share a common opening scene but a choice of two possibilities at every scene's climax. The play deals with the consequences of choice and how lives can take very different paths from the smallest to the biggest decisions.

Intimate Exchanges quote
"Look, I don't want to hurt your feelings again unnecessarily, Celia, but there are a whole load of more important reasons than you and your mother, why a man should turn to drink, I can tell you."
