Seventeen
Matthew Whittet
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" comes this haunting, contemporary play.
THE STORY: A family of exuberant and startled kids are left to fend for themselves by their mother and father—who have taken off to pursue forever a life of betting at trotter racetracks and playing blackjack in Native American casinos!
An expandable chorus punctuates with hilarious and stinging sound bites this highly theatrical and poignant legend of parental abdication.
