About the play: Finney is an older lady with a terrible problem. She hasn’t received her last Social Security check! Desperate, she seeks the help of people whom she knows get things done, starting with the Activity Director. As others come to her aid, all she gets is the run around and the red tape still isn’t cut — until she finds the ultimate supervisor, that is. Short, easy to produce as a reading and best of all, directors, actors, and audiences love it. This is a ‘never fail’ script!
This play is found in the collection, New Plays for Mature Actors.
