Slacks and Tops
Author(s):
Harry Kondoleon
In a motel room near Kennedy Airport, Wanda and Edwin are preparing to embark for Africa. He is a college professor disposed to having affairs with his students (after which he has them expelled); she is a perennially stoned devotée of Vogue magazine who wants to start a new life. Both parents despise their grown daughter, Constance, who arrives at the motel in the clown makeup she wore to a church bazaar earlier in the day, and is determined to join in their escape or stop them from departing. As they hilariously bicker, several decades of grievances are dredged up--and a murder takes place. In the end, there are outrageous, but telling comments about a host of other subjects, including families, organized religion, sex, marriage, compulsive shopping and even the "desiccation of European cities," all delivered in a bracing, madcap style which sweeps through the theatre with its fresh, invigorating originality.
