   To The Mailman
 

 

 

 


HD Lewis Award for Playwriting
Washington Theatre Festival, 1999

In Best Men's Monologues 1999 and Best Scenes 1999, Smith and Kraus

 

It’s never easy going home, but some families make it nearly impossible. After a 14-year absence, Will returns with his fiancee to find his mother doing laundry 24 hours a day and his father digging holes in the backyard. If that’s not enough to spoil a homecoming, how about that mysterious child riding her bike through the house pretending to be the mailman? Everyone’s got a secret to hide in this slightly scary, slightly campy backwoods comedy.

 

M2, W3, single set, 1:30 with intermission.

 

Developed at Abingdon Theatre Company in New York and Round House Theatre, MD. Produced at Washington Theatre Festival, Source Theatre Company, DC, 1999.

We’ll meet an old person. Stop by a rest home. Why are you so fixed on the details!?
