Produktbeschreibung

A four character romantic comedy in six parts. Reality takes place during the course of one day in a large California city in 2005. Buddy is putting together a large piece of furniture that comes in pieces, his wife, Lorraine is doing yoga, reading her tarot cards and cleaning house. Norm, their neighbor and Lorraine's neurotic brother, drops by in the morning. Frank, a policeman investigating a crime recently committed in the neighborhood, comes to call in the afternoon. The play begins in the early morning in semi-darkness and ends at night under the stars.

Excerpt 1: Why am I always trying to be a better person? Why can't I be satisfied just to go to work, come home, fuck my husband, love my children? What is this longing? I have everything I ever wanted. The bounty of my table is truly astounding. The extravagance of my existence, my magnificent children, smiles of an eternal summer night. Why is this not enough for me? What am I looking for?

Excerpt 2: Well, no, we're not sure what happened exactly. Raped and murdered. Behind your house. Over there, in that woody area. Some kids found her body this morning. We don't know anything much yet, who she is or how she got there. You have any bad feelings about any of your neighbor kids?

Excerpt 3: Sometimes I need to feel that life is beautiful. I need time to slow down so I can feel how incredibly lucky I am, how incredibly beautiful the world is. How perfectly I fit inside it. Spinning, whirling, galaxies bleeding new worlds into being.
