Of All the Wide Torsos in All the Wild Glen
Author(s):
Paul Peditto
"I speak of noble freedoms! My last crushed breath given to defend the liberty and honor of the cheeseburger!" So raves Maxwell Gibbs, the robust poet and playwright extraordinaire. The once-famous Gibbs has fallen out of favor with critics and public alike. Counseled by his psychiatrist and agent, desperate to rediscover past glories, Gibbs decides on a final, desperate course of action—liposuction! The play unfolds in the antechamber of a doctor's waiting room. There Maxwell Gibbs meets his nemesis, Susan Hastings, the essence of the modern woman, her "deranged obsession with the physical" building the time they spend confined together into a wild frenzy of matching wits, grits, philosophy, white-knuckle screaming and true moments of tenderness. A hilarious examination of compulsion toward physical fitness, and probably the world's first play about liposuction—and you. One int. set.
