The Last Straw
Author(s):
Charles Dizenzo
The NY Times describes THE LAST STRAW: "A young man answers a newspaper advertisement offering a happier life. A ‘doctor’ alone in a shabby, empty office and a boy full of failure and malaise have a confrontation that is short, sweet and funny. The quack is prepared to cure anything, from homosexuality to boredom, and the patient is at the end of every tether he can find. First, the doctor seems nothing but a crook, hopefully out for a quick buck. But as the play proceeds, he reveals a certain madness in his method--it is eccentricity beyond the common call of duty. Mr. Dizenzo has a delicate way with situations, and he can write some genuinely funny lines, here most of them coming from the logical illogicality of the slightly disturbed, mildly crazy."
