Memory Book, The

Synopsis:
everyday for five years; JOHN with his 'memory Book' in hand sits alone in NYC's Washington Square Park remembering his best friend, JOSePH, a pioneer victim lost to aIDS. JOHN, cherishing the memories of their show business careers, their lives and good times together, fulfills the promise they made of spending their golden years being able to remininsce here rather than being locked away in an Old Folks Home. Today, JOSePH's spirit is there in the park - on the bench with JOHN - for the first time and together they re-live two lives intertwined with a passion for living! Why is JOSePH here today after all these years? This is not just another aIDS play, but a poignant, heart-warming play about Friendship and Love; Living & Dying told against a backdrop of laughter and tears!
