Book Synopsis

The Sterling Award-winning author of At the Zenith of the Empire and A Teatro Trilogy returns with a new collection of charming, heart-warming comedies. Originally written for the Edmonton Fringe Festival, these three plays combine Lemoine''s trademark sparkling banter and fanciful settings with often unexpectedly emotional explorations of marriage, love, and family. In Happy Toes, a husband''s faith is tested when he begins to suspect his wife is having an affair with a close friend; in The Oculist''s Holiday, a World War I widow falls in love with an American eye doctor on vacation in the small Swiss city of Lausanne; and in Witness to a Conga, a young man''s impending marriage stirs up memories of his troubled relationship with his father, his parents'' divorce, and the woman who never knew she was the great love of his life.
