Synopsis
Status Quo Vadis
Published by Dramatists Play Service
5 Female
The catalyst is one Horace Elgin, a Candide-like hero who begins as an apprentice hole-maker but whose gift for writing poetry gives him the means to aspire to higher education and upward mobility on all fronts - including romance
Inevitably Horace overreaches himself, and falls victim to the relent- less status quo, but not before racial and religious prejudice, class snobbery and even short-sighted literary censorship have come in for their share of biting, revealing and very funny examination
A witty, satirical and provocative study of a twentieth century "Everyman," which established long-run box office records in both Washington and Chicago prior to its Broadway presentation. "New, different, refreshing, enjoyable, Status Quo Vadis keeps audiences howling with laughter" - Variety
" humor, sharpness and satirical insight " - NY Post
" modern morality play" - NY Times
