Billy van Zandt & Jane Milmore

Published by Samuel French Inc

7 Male 4 Female

This crazy slapstick farce takes pre wedding jitters to nightmare proportions. In a posh New York hotel just before Walter and Wendy are scheduled to say "I do", Walter's zipper becomes attached to his bride's sister's dress during a last minute act of infidelity

Meanwhile Wendy is having a fling with the best man. This finely tuned exercise in physical comedy zips from one hilarious situation as all try to hide their exploits and make it to the church on time

"Vintage Van Zandt & Milmore: full of silly, zany madcap antics at a rapid fire pace. Endless pratfalls, door ballets and bits of physical comedy have actors diving under beds and into suitcases, getting hit with silver platters, hiding under wedding gowns, slipping on ice cubes, dodging bullets, falling off buildings, and jumping in and out of closet doors which seem to have minds of their own" ~ Asbury Park Press

Julie is a seamstress and is Black and beautiful. Herman is a baker that has kept company with her for years, and is White. The important thing to remember is the date of 1918

This play is a look at Black consciousness prior to any White literature's emancipation of the Black, and is handled skillfully by Ms. Childress, who raises the principles involved to art, and reduces substantially the hold of a reactionary or cutting liberal viewpoint

"A great deal of compassion.... Its strength lies in the poignancy of its star crossed lovers" ~ N.Y. Times
