Synopsis

Property is a contemporary romantic comedy set in a Garden District mansion in New Orleans.

Rooster Dubonnet, a young artist suffering from a terminal disease, is dazzled by love.

Raised by an imperious society-driven mother, he has fallen in love with a New-age nurse.

Set during Mardi Gras--when a whole tradition of fun, revelry and prestige seizes the city--Rooster is caught between his dedication to his family's past (and "property") and his own very different future.

Characters

Character
Bunky Dubonnet Legere

Early Twenties, Irene’s grandson. He dresses like a rebel. His consuming interest is singing the blues. When he drinks, his personality changes into exaggerated gaiety and hair-trigger rage.

Oozie Ransom

Twenty-five to fifty. Companion to Irene. Oozie is always fixing herself - freshening her lipstick, puffing her hair, buffing her rings.

Monica Falcon

Late twenties. A nurse, attractive, with a passion for things of the spirit. He gentleness is matched by delicate features: fine skin, graceful hands, hair, which tumbles around her face.

Irene Soniat Dubonnet

Fifties. A landowner, she redefines the word style - in designer dresses, and flawless makeup. Irene is one of those striking women - nerves of steel, iron lungs, sharp as a tack - who has nothing to do but protect her grown children, and she watches them like a dog guards her bone.
