A Play by James McLure - Directed by Emilie TalbotA picture of life in a one-horse town, where the women get drunk during the day and the men get drunk at night, this black comedy depicts the effects of the Vietnam War on those who went and those who stayed home.
On the front porch of Roy and Elizabeth’s home in Maynard, Texas, on a hot summer afternoon, Elizabeth (Sylvia Burboeck) and her friend Hattie (Tanya Marie) are whiling away the time folding laundry, watching TV, sipping bourbon and Coke, and gossiping about the many open secrets that are so much a part of small-town life. They are joined by the self-righteous Amy Lee (Sheila Devitt) who, among other tidbits, can’t resist blurting out that Roy has been seen around town with another woman. Fueled by additional bourbon, true feelings begin to fly. Their unique perspectives reveal the beauty and tragedy of everyday life.
Mr. McLure’s strongest suit is dialogue, salty comic banter that derives from colorful indigenous characters. — The New York Times
