Summary

How do you cope with a nuclear power plant in your neighborhood? With your daughter bringing home swains whose purple hair doesn't quite hide their earrings? With fickle lovers - your husband's Other Woman - sojourns in the hospital - early retirement - a fiance whose hobby is stealing cars - in fact, with just about any problem one has to face? This hilariously informative and Machiavellianly educational shows that absolutely nothing that occurs in life cannot be summarily and rather delightfully dealt with.

Only three players, minimal props, and no set at all, and guaranteed to keep audiences howling with glee from opening curtain to riotous finale.

GEORGE - debonair and amiable, but slightly egotistical.
EILEEN - gracious and patrician, but quick with a quip.
MAXINE - brash and hoydenish, but warm marshmallow within.
