Local Affairs
Richard Harris
This thoroughly charming play is about a successful woman executive who is planning to retire and move into a beach front community.
Old friends are planning a party for her and she has some surprises in store for them.
The first is that she is getting married.
The second is that she is marrying a multi millionaire.
The toper is that he happens to be the local handyman whom they are always ordering about-- "You mean, our Henry?" All four roles come through with a splendid flourish.
| Character |
|---|
| Evelyn 70, a widow, five foot three inches tall, a bit over weight. She is pleasantly old-fashioned, sensitive, easily persuaded. Wears a semi-smile that sometimes covers her preoccupation. She is fastidious in dress and manner, her thick dryed brown-blondish hair is styled in an upsweep with french curls. |
| Kit 60, tall, thin, personable, warn and attractive. She is a wealthy, successful, fashion-conscious, divorced, business executie. Her dyed blonde hair is cut in a wedge. |
| Henry 58, bachelor, medium height, thickset, his sparse gray hair is combed straight back and neatly trimmed. He is unpretentious, pleasant, polite, and likeable. A handyman who is constantly lighting and smoking his pipe. He wears neat and clean shorts, socks, and sneakers, but is shirtless. |
| Lillian 59, a widow, tall, shapely, emotional, opinionated, earthy. She dresses as youthful as possible, her dyed brown hair styled in a page boy. A lady of means, looks forward to a good time, and male companionship. |
The Party is a American comedy play written by Robert J Flaherty and published by Samuel French (1990).
