Description

  • Full Length Play
  • Comedy

  • Set Requirements: Interior Set
Matthew Broderick and Parker Posey starred on Broadway as Howard and Selma, just another urban, Jewish, almost generic white couple from Queens, until the mundane stresses of a leaky shower and a citation for littering overwhelm them and Howard takes to bed. His parents, mother-in-law and boss hysterically elevate his childish rebellion to Civil Disobedience worthy of Thoreau in this skewed comic version of an urban angst from veteran humorist Elaine May.
REVIEWS:

"This discomforting sourpuss humor that Ms. May is known for."

 The New York Times

"May [does]... what she does best, turn contemporary neuroses into the stuff of high pitched drawing room, or in this case bedroom, farce."

Boston Globe
