Book Synopsis
Herb Gardner Comedy Characters: 4 male, 1 female, 12 year-old boy 2 Interior scenes This benchmark of Broadway comedy produced one of the theatre's most beloved roles: unconventional Murray, uncle to precocious nephew, Nick. Tired of writing cheap comedy gags for Chipper the Chipmunk, a children's television star, Murray finds himself unemployed with plenty of free time with which to pursue his...pursuits. Lectured by his conventional brother Arnold and hounded by the system, Murray is paid a visit by bickering, uptight social workers, Sandra and Albert, and finds himself solving their problems as well as most of his own. Would be a standout comedy in any season. Filled with laughter and warmth and sweetness and inspired daffiness. One of the quintessential New York comedies.-New York Daily News An extraordinarily funny play with some brilliantly offbeat lines.-The New York Post
