Mrs Farnsworth

Miss Farnsworth
by Willard Simms
Synopsis
Over the years Miss Farnsworth, now nearing 50, has found the world of reality to be a more and more painful experience, and has begun drifting off into increasingly frequent and wildly extreme fantasies involving herself and her fellow employees at the Goodwill store where she works.
A young employee, Ralph, has begun to take a compassionate, kid-brother sort of interest in her—which she has completely misinterpreted—and he soon becomes the center of her fantasies.
Press Reviews
"Part of the trilogy entitled "Variations on an Untitled Theme." First presented at West Texas State University, this touching and highly imaginative play mingles humor and pathos in its affecting examination of a lonely spinster who seeks in fantasy what she does not—or cannot"
