D.L. Coburn’s classic play chronicles the relationship between two unhappy denizens of a seedy nursing home — Weller Martin and Fonsia Dorsey — who play multiple games of gin rummy together. Their secrets, gradually revealed, become weapons as they navigate loneliness and old age.
In this medley of both familiar and lesser-known plots, two narrators attempt to recreate all 209 of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in a wild, fast-paced extravaganza. To make it more difficult, they attempt to combine them into one gigantic fable using Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and other more obscure stories like Lean Lisa and The Devil's Grandmother. A wild, free-form comedy with lots of audience participation and madcap fun.
