A woman negotiates a turkey and a ham from her local politician. A man gets a lesson in the importance of infidelity. A dead woman's lover and mother fight over a precious music box. A judge presides over a paternity suit with a twist; and a small-town DJ gives a lesson in building community. These, and others, are the short tales of the title, a collection of ten original short plays written for Shakespeare in Paradise's tenth theatre festival.
