Intimate Exchanges is an interlocked series of eight plays - each of which has two different endings. Each play begins at the same point .. Celia Teasdale finally breaks free! Free at last as an independent entrepreneur, a successful businesswoman standing on her own two feet, achieving at last her full untapped potential. All she needs is a good shrewd business partner! Alas, poor Celia. How can she hope to achieve her dreams when circumstances so conspire against her? When her choice of 'shrewd' business partner is none other than the unstable Lionel Hepplewick? When she chooses to launch their joint enterprise in the VIP's tea tent on school sports day under the sceptical eye of her headmaster husband? Mix in a food crisis and a mothers' race that ends in mayhem and everything points to disaster. Looking on nervously, Miles Coombes, Celia's unrequited admirer, secretly fears that all could end in madness. How right he proves to be.
