The Gnädiges Fräulein

Synopsis

Described as a "tragicomedy", this one-act play is set in a Florida bunkhouse for "permanent transients".

The title may be translated as "The Gracious Lady", but the "characters include a kooky society gossip columnist, the frowsy crone who runs the place, a demented former Viennese vaudevillian, a Cocaloony bird (evidently a local name for a pelican) and a tomahawk-brandishing, war-whooping, blond-wigged Indian."
