| The Old Fart Plays is a collection of one-act plays that focus on characters of "a certain age" or beyond. Rather than a lugubrious concentration on theme, the plays deal---in one way or another---with the various challenges of aging but are mindful of plot, character and humor. If there is an overarching theme, it may be found in the words of E.E. Cummings: "love is the every only god." Together, the pieces could make a fine evening's showcase for a theatre company's mature performers. |
