Marilyn Millstone
1 man, 2 women
10 minute comedyAbout the play:
Meet Robert and Alese Langford, a sophisticated older couple whose children are pushing them to move out of their home and into an elite retirement community called Silver Glades. But at the Prospective Resident Interview, everyone–including the audience–is in for surprises! Sometimes you don’t know who is compos mentis–of sound mind–and who is not.
Here’s what they’re saying about the show:
- “This witty and brilliantly lighthearted script by Marilyn Millstone is a cheeky look at an aging couple who aren’t quite ready to submit to the life of the down-and-out… a touching, feel-good, and overall heartfelt slice of life comedy that is just too precious for words.” -Amanda N. Gunther, Theatre Bloom
- “[One of the] two strongest plays of the evening.” -Jeffrey Borak, The Berkshire Eagle
