Dan Cody's Yacht
by Anthony Giardina
Synopsis
THE STORY: In a small Boston suburb, a schoolteacher is struggling to get by when the wealthy father of one of her students surprises her with a financial proposal that could change her daughter’s life.
Suddenly, their worlds collide in ways that open up the question: What truly separates the haves and the have-nots?
Is it wrong to seize an incredible chance, even if the circumstances seem questionable?
Loosely inspired by a passage from The Great Gatsby , DAN CODY’S YACHT probes the troubling relationship between finance and educational opportunity in America.
Press Reviews
"…the playwright [has an] undeniably witty gift for writing zesty dialogue.” —The Hollywood Reporter. “…[a] biting and discomforting social commentary…[an] observant, darkly comic piece…” —BroadwayWorld. “…a match of wits…Giardina provides interesting characters, an interesting thesis, and always entertaining dialogue."
