Play Summary:
Hilarious situations, clever dialogue, intriguing romance and surprise twists make this breezy comedy a delight.
A soap opera author has written a screenplay about a terminally ill man who hires a hitman to kill him and then
finds out he was misdiagnosed. His agent and best friend thinks the plot is not feasible so the author contacts
a gangster and arranges for an incognito hitman to join them at a dinner party to prove his point.
Circumstances place a real hitman among the guests and the action accelerates as they try to find out who it is
before the deadline. Is the whole scheme really a con game? And who cons the con man? And who is conning
them all?
Character Descriptions:
Stacy: A confident and professional woman, with an air of competence and a sense of humor that can tend
toward the wicked.
Greg: A businessman and worrier. His tendency towards the cowardly can outstrip his desire to compete with
Matt in their rivalrous friendship.
Matt: A soap-opera writer with a flair for the dramatic that fits his career. he has an impish sense of humor.
Laura: A rural local whose folksy antics are at odds with the city-slick attitudes of Stacy, Greg and Matt.
Gerta: An intense poet
Burton: A plumber
Lila: A dramatic soap opera actress
Henrietta: An ideal grandmother
Ira: A businessman

Play Summary:
Scottie Templeton's a charming, irresponsible fellow. A sometime Broadway press agent and former
scriptwriter. He's everyone's friend, nobody's hero, and a great womanizer who's managed to live over fifty
years without taking anything seriously including love, marriage and fatherhood. Life's been one continuous
gag. But at fifty one, he finds his life script has been rewritten. This is a very touching comedic drama.
