“All I want is to run everything and always be right; now is that so much to ask?” Thus speaks K.C., the no-nonsense editor of ME magazine. It is April Fool’s Day. K.C. and her publisher-lover, Bo, are hosting their annual all-day Monopoly game. They have invited ME editor Henry, who brings along Food and Restaurant critic, Erna Tinker. Through the course of two acts we follow the game—both the familiar board game and the corporate game. K.C,’s main concern is…“I always put a hotel on Marvin Gardens, and I always win.” Suddenly, there is a knock at the door and a storm-bedraggled girl, Rose, enters. It is her presence and contrast to these terribly affluent and sophisticated New Yorkers that eventually leads to a showdown.The discussions of “Passing Go,” “landing on Boardwalk,” etc., delight audiences who know this game by heart and the double meanings of corporate gamesmanship ring wickedly true, as America’s favorite board game becomes the metaphor for American greed.
Unger and Madison are at it again! Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is, in the female version of Neil Simon’s hilarious contemporary comic classic, The Odd Couple. Instead of the poker party that begins the original version, Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit. The guys are replaced by the gals, and the Pidgeon sisters are replaced by the Costazuela brothers, but the hilarity remains the same.
