Gerald Murphy is a high school English teacher, a playwright, composer, songwriter, singer, banjo, guitar and mandolin player, and very poor actor who has the worst memory for lines in the galaxy. He has had more than thirty plays and musicals published and has had his shows performed in over twenty countries. In his leisure time he plays in a music group called "The Celtic Cats" in his home city of Yreka, California with his wife, Nicole. He has three grown children and three (so far) grandchildren. "I just might be the luckiest and happiest man I know," reports Mr. Murphy.

The students and their sponsor rally together to give an impassioned plea at the school board meeting. Impressed, the board decides to give the club one last chance, provided they can put an original version of Wizard of Oztogether. . .in one week. The result is an uproarious, whirlwind adaptation of the modern classic, but is it enough to save their beloved drama club? | |||||

Synopsis: | Take Me Away has a father and three adult sons gathered to discuss what to do after the mother, understandably wearied by their petulant version of family life, has fled to stake out a ew and independant life for herself. Emotionaly closed to one another and to any sensibleinteraction with mankind in general, they bicker and excavate old wounds from their shared past; there is no solace but only bitterness in their continuing relationships. | |||||
