Too Close For Comfort
Author(s):
Jack Dunphy
An absorbing play about a suicide prone young man on the verge of jumping off a bridge, only to be interrupted by his bitterly sardonic mother, who he ran away from many years before, after attempting to kill her. She no longer recognizes him, having been fleeing him in fear for all this time. Two ultra-civilized, do-gooders enter to rescue the young man. However, they seem more interested in out-doing each other in dwelling on their personal feelings over the young man's attempt at death, than in actually helping him. At last, in a chilling ending, we realize that they are not really concerned about saving his life, but in witnessing his morbid end.
