Summary
Cletis and Molly, a couple in their sixties, are having some serious marital difficulties in this very funny play. Cletis has eaten dog food, thinking it was Molly's meat loaf. Their son Billy is obsessed with Eskimo women and wiener dogs. Molly longs for more culture in her life. And Cletis recalls a person who had a great influence on his life, a man who farted the 1812 Overture in vaudeville. See also Uncle Clete's Toad, November, and other plays in Nigro's continuing saga of the strange inhabitants of Pendragon County, Ohio.
