New Plays from A. C. T. 's Young Conservatory, Vol. 5 Book

Some say this play has no plot but they are just missing it. It is the story of a young man passing through a world that is like a trap. It is a trap that he is able to escape only because he lives with his mother. He receives 15 dollars a week and is able to save 11 of it so that he can go to college. The only other person to escape is Gus, but it is not the way most would like to escape. It is a memory. Many think of it as realism like Chekov, but it is actually expressionism because it is an amalgam of many days not just two and not just mondays. It is a memory of times that were very difficult and the people you worked with were like family. In fact that family like atmosphere of people looking out for one another is what got you through it. I loved this story.
