Synopsis:
Living in a cheap hotel are Eddie and his wife and their young son, Joey. They are a vaudeville team who have reached what looks like the end of their futile artistic career. The irrepressible Eddie will not face realities, whereas his wife insists that vaudeville is dead. There is, however, the child Joey to think of. Joey needs an education. But his father still thinks of the lad as a future vaudevillian. at last even Eddie is forced to a realization that the future holds nothing for any of them. He therefore prepares an elaborate suicide by turning on the gas, but while making plans for this last exit, he gets a marvelous inspiration for a new "act." He turns off the gas, wakes up his wife and son, and the three of them go into a mad rehearsal, ready to face the future with confidence.

Top of PageHope Is The Thing With Feathers
Synopsis:
The plot revolves about the ridiculous and tragic efforts of a group of tramps and other down-and-outs to catch a duck on a lake in Central Park and cook it. The efforts which the various derelicts make to achieve their petty ends are presented and combined in masterly comic fashion. The contrast between the assorted group of misfits and the ridiculous game they pursue forms the basis of this uproarious play. Beneath the mere externals, there runs of course a savage and ironic commentary on mankind.
