Social Security
A real, honest to goodness hit Broadway comedy! Written by Andrew Bergman, one of Hollywood's top comedy screenwriters, the story revolves around a married couple who are art dealers. Their domestic tranquility is shattered upon the arrival of the wife's goody-goody nerd of a sister, her uptight CPA husband and her Archetypal Jewish Mother. They are there to try to save their college student daughter from the horrors of living only for sex. The comic sparks really begin to fly when the elderly mother strikes up a romance with the elderly minimalist artist who is the art dealer's best client!
" Just when you were beginning to think you were never going to laugh again on Broadway, along comes Social Security and you realize that it is once more safe to giggle in the streets. Indeed, you can laugh out loud, joyfully, with, as it were, social security, for the play is a hoot, and better yet, a sophisticated, even civilized hoot." N.Y. Post
