Set in Sunnyside, New York in 1965 on the day Pope Paul VI visited NYC, this black comedy
features nuns, a political bombing, a GI headed for Vietnam, a zookeeper who dreams of
making it big in Hollywood as a songwriter and his wife, a schizophrenic destined for the
institution that provides the plays title. A play of hilarious absurdity and delicate, ridiculous
dreams, The House of Blue Leaves is as timely as it is poignant.
Linda and Michael Waterman are both successful writers, happily married to one another. They thrive on the give and take of their unusually honest and candid relationship. However, when they decide to share their diaries with one another, the boundaries between past and present, fact and fiction, trust and betrayal begin to break down. No life, as it turns out, is an open book.
Mr. Green, an elderly, retired dry cleaner, wanders into New York traffic and is almost hit by a car driven by Ross Gardiner, a 29-year-old corporate executive. The young man is given a community service of helping the recent widower once a week for six months. What starts as a comedy about two men who do not want to be in the same room together becomes a moving drama as they get to know each other, come to care about each other, and open old wounds they’ve been hiding and nursing for years.
