The Folding Green
Author(s):
Howard Moss
Elena, the richest woman in the world, devises a scheme in which she plays dead and then assumes a different identity in order to spy on her possible heirs; which include a greedy daughter and son-in-law from middle America; a companion, Ramona, who is almost as old and as clever as Elena; a ward who spends most of her time answering her second-class mail; a young doctor substituting for Elena's usual physician; a painter friend, female, who has a loft in Hoboken; and two minor characters, a woman and a man, who keep cropping up at seances, and may be either genuine spirits or hired actors. A sort of Modern-day Valpone, THE FOLDING GREEN is a play of wit and language whose targets are greed and contemporary conceptions of money, art, medicine, love, sex, and of dying.
