She is in her middle thirties and speaks with a becoming Southern drawl.
She wears a loose-fitting summer housedress and uses make-up very sparingly.
She is Hazel, a librarian by profession, and appears to have managed her personal and business routine with restraint.
But who is Isabel?
Isabel is never a librarian.
Sometimes she's a secretary ... or a waitress ... or a music teacher.
And when Keith arrives with the truth about Isabel, how will this "restrained librarian" react to her secret being revealed?

From google.com:
Hazel Evans, in her mid-30s, "is a disciplined spinster." In this two-character play, Keith Brady (her no-good former lover of sorts) stops in fresh from New Orleans. He ribs Hazel about her work as a librarian in a southern town. She assures him she finds "great satisfaction" in the job.
For a long time she was bound to the town while she cared for her invalid mother. Keith calls her a "mistress of books - but never one in bed." Hazel admits, with Keith's prodding, that she leads something of a double life: When loneliness sets in, she goes to a nearby park, adopts the name Isabel, and strikes up conversations with strangers - male strangers, chiefly.
This potentially embarrassing information in hand, Keith attempts to blackmail Hazel. Her response to his effort is the main focus of the play.
