Lusting After Pipino's Wife SIDDOWN!!! (conversations with the mob)Lusting After Pipino's Wife
This cleverly constructed comedy about the never ending war between the sexes centers around a restaurant owner and his best friend. Vinnie and Patsy like to sit around talking about women and about life in general. A favorite topic is the restaurant dishwasher's gorgeous wife. Vinnie can't understand how a nobody like Pipino can have such a wife. In fact, he doesn't understand why women won't give him the time of day, especially tough as nails Lorraine whose friend Rita dates Patsy. Patsy decides he can find success selling shoes on the street and he proposes to Rita. Their wedding is disrupted by a gun welding Lorraine who rescues Rita from the altar, leaving Vinnie and Patsy to speculate and commiserate again about the mysteries of women. Note: This play contains some wonderful monologue and scene material, much of which has been anthologized elsewhere.

Takes us into the world of Mob related activities; Shedding light on the brutality, the absurd, & the hystErical. In "What's it all mean, hah?". . . A mob collector/enforcer down on his luck, tries desperately to procure one last favor from an old "friend." Though the setting is a mob cafe, the meeting is emblematic of our crumbling society-- Struggling families, desperation, loneliness, despair. Willie Loman as a down on his luck mobster. "Lefty & Squinty" is a lighter piece; HystErical, absurd, frantic. . . Two wiseguys attend a courtroom sentencing, in support of a fellow mobster. While waiting for the jury to hand down it's sentence, they ruminate about life, love, death, & cartoons. . . the final one-act of the evening is, "Dice & Cards." An older mobster tries to educate a young upstart, in the ways of mob after hours etiquette. . . Sal does his best to "school" young Richie in the ways of the world, to little avail. Funny, shocking, brutally honest in the ways of the mob, "Dice & Cards" is a show stopper. . . Featuring boxing legend, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini.
