Strangers on Earth
Mark O'donnell
Oliver Parker!
by Elizabeth Meriwether
Synopsis
An unlikely and uncomfortable friendship exists between old-man alcoholic Jasper and socially awkward 17-year-old Oliver Parker.
Living in squalor in a decrepit New York apartment owned by Oliver, Jasper just wants to be left alone -- but Oliver, determined to use the apartment in his quest to get laid, loses patience with his pathetic existence very quickly.
Shady dealings involving a grieving politician and her ambitious assistant Agnes only increase the tension between them, and soon buried shame and secrets bubble to the surface.
Sharply funny and keenly tragic, Oliver Parker!
is anything but a typical coming-of-age story.
