Home Life of a Buffalo
Author(s):
Richard Harrity
Living in a cheap hotel are Eddie and his wife and their young son, Joey. They are a vaudeville team who have reached what looks like the end of their futile artistic career. The irrepressible Eddie will not face realities, whereas his wife insists that vaudeville is dead. There is, however, the child Joey to think of. Joey needs an education. But his father still thinks of the lad as a future vaudevillian. At last even Eddie is forced to a realization that the future holds nothing for any of them. He therefore prepares an elaborate suicide by turning on the gas, but while making plans for this last exit, he gets a marvelous inspiration for a new "act." He turns off the gas, wakes up his wife and son and the three of them go into a mad rehearsal, ready to face the future with confidence. In volume with two other plays.
