Synopsis: | Alma is our narrator. She begins by explaining that she can go anywhere in time and space, because the play we are about to see, set in 1950's Brooklyn, is memory - not even her memory. This memory is a fantasy of certain events described to her in letters by her kid brother, Eddie. The good child. Not the one who had an abortion and ran off to Europe. But she says little else of herself and instead explains that the first act is about the dreams the family has pinned to Eddie that he'll take over and revive his father's jewelry business, that he'll be a good husband to his new wife and a good father to the child or children in her womb; in the second act, Alma promises to show us what she terms the rude awakening. The transformation that we are supposed to witness is Eddie's slow turn from a docile boy who lives with his parents and works full time at the family store to the restless and resentful young man who has seen the world (i.e., Los Angeles) and come to realize that the old neighborhood is a maze of dead ends. Maybe Fay, his mother, shouldn't have called her Hollywood-agent-brother, Phil, and asked him to take Eddie under his wing. For upon arrival, Eddie is assigned a job in the mailroom and promptly falls in love with his uncle s secretary, Diane (who is having an affair with her boss). This last bit of devastating news, along with his father's frantic reports of some serious trouble at the jewelry store, swiftly puts Eddie's angsty butt on the next flight home. Needless to say, he's now a different man, and his old clothes don't fit anymore. | |||||
