The Sum of Us
Author(s):
David Stevens
The surprise hit of the 1990 Off-Broadway season, this play by a gifted Australian writer is about a widower and his gay son. Jeff is in love with a young gardener he met in the local pub, but Greg is wary particularly when he meets dear old Dad. Meanwhile, Dad is developing a relation
ship with a woman he met through a dating service, but she is put off by Jeff's homosexuality and she pulls away just before he suffers a stroke. The Sum of Us includes several terrific monologues. "A father-son play with a big heart. Its first act has plenty of laughs, while the second half balances humor and pathos and includes a surprising conclusion. . . . Ought to run in resident theaters and summer stock for years to come. --Variety. "An old-fashioned play in the best sense. There's a real story and fully developed characters an audience can care about."-AP.
