by
Christine Rosensteel-Savalla
Directed by: Lewis Hauser
In the play, a young
homeless couple fresh off the Greyhound from West Virginia encounters a
refined, elderly couple in Hollywood who invites them to stay in their
home. Generational and cultural differences clash, creating natural
comedic moments.
It's a character-driven play that will make you
laugh and cry. The playwright weaves a story that will stimulate,
educate and entertain. She opens the door wide on elder abuse,
exposing society's hidden attitude: "They have one foot in the
grave, anyway." The perils faced by those lucky enough to get
old, and the motivations of those who prey on them are portrayed in an
entertaining manner. Before play's end, both dreams and
nightmares have come true.
Earlier work by the playwright received this review by L.A. Weekly: "Rosensteel-Savalla possesses a true ear for dialogue and a fresh idiosyncratic take on character... an entertaining and memorable manner that steers clear of didacticism... it was a happy surprise to find an exceptional level of talent..."
