The Last Word ...

Now retired and nearly blind, Henry is determined to fulfill his lifelong dream of being a playwright

When young Len Artz, also an aspiring playwright, applies for a position as Henry's assistant, their job interview quickly expands into a fierce and acrimonious intellectual debate, with Henry as the avid advocate of Eurocentrism and Len as the impassioned defender of experimentalism

This smart two-hander is a thought-provoking comedy about loyalty, dreams and the fear of failure

" ... a sad and gentle comedy that revolves around a clash of opposing ideas and explores the colliding forces of classicism and modernism ... A thoughtful and balanced portrayal that captures the mortal dread under Henry's obnoxious certainty. Len's progression from passivity to indignation is also neatly accomplished. Highly recommended" ~ LA Times
