Rubbers
Author(s):
Jonathan Reynolds
The setting is the Assembly Chamber of a State Legislature, where a determinedly liberal (and unpopular) lady legislator presses for passage of a bill requiring druggists to place contraceptive devices in plain view, with prices clearly marked. Her shocked colleagues, a motley, self-seeking crew of political hacks, react with platitudes and inane counter-proposals, mostly motivated by fear of their constituents' displeasure. As they bicker hilariously among themselves, deliver fatuous speeches and play to the visitors gallery, the playwright fixes them all with a deliciously wicked eye--and, out of the farcical doings, raises some unsettling albeit very funny) questions about the suitability and purposefulness of our elected representatives.
