A SAMUEL FRENCH, INC. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Comedy / 2w, 3m
Tom Dudzick
"Hilarious." - The New Yorker
Andy has a sweet Catholic mother, a sour Catholic father and an intellectually disabled younger brother named Mickey. When he brings his Jewish atheist fiance to meet the folks on Christmas Eve, his worst fears about family blow-ups are realized. But when Mickey, whose entire vocabulary has been limited to "oh boy" and "wow," suddenly spouts the word "Greetings!" the entire family's belief system is turned upside down. For it seems an ancient, wise and witty spirit who is set upon healing the family's wounds has borrowed Mickey's body! Though a play for all seasons, Greetings! is ideal for groups wanting something special to put on at Christmas/Hanukkah time. The Off Broadway production starred Darren McGavin and Gregg Edelman.
Greetings! premiered at George Street Playhouse, New Brunswick, NJ, October, 1990. Gregory Hurst, Artistic Director
