Keith is a prep school debate teacher on the run with Jill, his student and underage girlfriend. They arrive at the Los Angeles mansion of his father Hinson, an amusingly hopeless technophile who left the ministry to become a wealthy real estate baron. Full of wit, magic, and ruined household appliances, Rich Relations explores the ties between wealth and love, modernity and eternity, sacrifice and resurrection.

Rich Relations premiered at Second Stage in 1986, directed by Harry Kondoleon.
