Summary
Creditors: This three-character play takes place in a parlor adjoined to a room in a seaside resort hotel. It begins with Adolph, an artist, sculpting a small nude female figure. With him is Adolph's new friend, Gustav, who has been visiting for a week and filling Adolph's weak and malleable mind with ideas: Adolph was a painter, until Gustave persuaded him to be a sculptor, then Gustav persuades him that sculpting isn't right for him after all. Also, Adolph loves and trusts his wife, Tekla, he credits her for educating him, and he was happy in his marriage until Gustav changes his mind about those things -- summary from wikipedia.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creditors_(play)
