A full-length play

by Lynda Sturner & Jim Dalglish

After her husband dies, Maxie discovers she’s spent most of her adult life living in a house of cards.  Now she's destitute in a down economy.  Her practical daughter – who has her own set of problems with an unemployed husband and hellion daughter – insists that Maxie begin a new life of austerity and sacrifice.  Maxie shops at Daffys instead of Bergdorfs.  She takes the bus instead of a car service.  She’s given up the Met, MOMA, BAM, and even Botox.  Nothing seems to help.  If only someone… anyone… would recognize all the talent she has to offer.
