Synopsis

Myra Smuldanski, a hardworking secretarial temp from Queens, has done the unconscionable in her brother Ludlow’s opinion: she has accepted a date with a dashing young executive.

Not prone to dating because of priorities involved in caring for young Ludlow, Myra is taking one last swing at romance.

For 24 hours, a comedic tug-of-war rages in her cramped apartment.

Ludlow, an aspiring finger painter who suffers manic episodes, is determined to destroy the budding relationship that threatens his exclusive hold on his sister’s love.

Reginald must fight for Myra’s affection, and ultimately, Ludlow discovers that acceptance affords him a measure of dignity.

Press Reviews
