Today I am a Fountain Pen

Today, I Am A Fountain Pen
by Israel Horovitz
Synopsis
Talented and precocious, Irving Yanover, at the tender age of 10, is both a piano prodigy and, at times, a thorn in the side of his orthodox parents, who lament his unaccountable predilection for bacon.
But knowing that his mother and father indulge a similar passion (while dining out at a Chinese restaurant), Irving can only question their double standard.
But even more upsetting is the unhappy fate of Annie, the Yanovers' young Ukrainian housekeeper, whose romance with a young Italian immigrant is bitterly opposed by her staunchly old-world parents-even though everyone knows that Annie's father is an enthusiastic devotee of Italian opera.
Happily, however, these and other problems are delightfully resolved, with wit, gentle humor and a warm sense of humanity which will endear the play to audiences of all faiths and backgrounds.
