by Jeffrey Gold

In this dark comedy, the overbearing owner of a Fortune 500 company visits the home of a former employee---with a few surprises. FINALIST - 2005 Theatre Publicus Prize for Dramatic Literature Dramatica Press plays are designed to enhance readability of the stageplay format by creating a new ergonomic layout and using color to easily differentiate between character names, dialogue, parentheticals, and stage directions. Characters TOM MORGAN - Father. Hard worker. Unfortunately the compensation for all this work has not been commensurate with the effort. To add injury to insult, he was recently downsized by the Glasgow Corporation about 7 weeks ago. ALATHEA MORGAN - His wife. Housewife. Strong, but knows when to step back and let Tom feel useful. LESLIE MORGAN - Their daughter of 17 years. A pregnancy waiting to happen. ANDY MORGAN - Their son of 20 years. Probably involved with drugs. Wears a T-shirt that proudly reads "Wiener Takes Fall". SHELDON GLASGOW - The overbearing owner and chairman of the Glasgow Corporation, a Fortune 500 Company. A portly man who enjoys the best things in life, because he can afford them.
