THE STORIES: GOODBYE, HOWARD. In a North Carolina hospital, three aging spinster sisters wait for news of their brother's death. As they worry about breaking the news to their elderly mother, a brash young man - who seems to lack the proper respect for the aged and the dying - suddenly intrudes on the sad tidings. (2 men, 4 women.) In the second play, F.M., a creative writing teacher is at first appalled and then awed by the earthly brilliance of one of her pupils - a whiskey-guzzling, dirty-mouthed, vagabond - whose primitive genius puts his dilettante classmates to shame. (1 man, 3 women.)
Three skillfully written, highly entertaining and richly humorous plays by one of our theatre's most celebrated and imaginative playwrights. A critical and popular success in their production by Off-Off-Broadway's Manhattan Punch Line Theatre. "The plays abound in humor that is by turns gentle, satiric, probing and zany." - NY Times. "
marked by Linney's singular talent for stating wild ideas with high, simplifying intelligence and for drawing deft portraits of the half mad in which not a line is misplaced or wasted." - Time Magazine. "
he's a genuinely sage folk humorist." - Village Voice.
