Horowitz and Mrs. Washington
Henry Denker
Samuel Horowitz is a Jewish widower living alone in Manhattan.
He's not known for his tolerance toward others.
But his tolerance faces the ultimate test when he's mugged by black men, slashed in the face, and suffers a stroke in the hospital afterwards.
Upon his return home, his son places him in the care of a practical nurse named Harriet Washington - a black woman.
The relationship between Horowitz and Mrs. Washington is rocky at first, but eventually the two join forces against a foe much more formidable than intolerance or disability.
It's a show filled with laughter and emotion.
Horowitz and Mrs Washington is a American comedy play written by Henry Denker and published by Samuel French in New York (1980).
