The Armonk Players: The Marriage Fool
A witty, heartwarming story from playwright Richard Vetere about two generations looking for romance. With lots of snappy wisecracks. Frank’s wife of forty years has died and now the tough, blue-collar man finds the world a different place without his wife taking care of everything for him. He decides to go to a local dance and there meets Florence, a ‘Dolly Levi wisdom-spouting widow’ who spirals the quiet Frank into a realm of happiness he didn’t know he could enjoy, and he falls in love. Frank’s son, Robert, is all personality and a serial dater. Terrified of commitment, a special new relationship throws him into turmoil. A play about the lessons fathers pass on to their sons and the ways of men with women. Which of the two men is the marriage fool?
The Off Broadway production of The Marriage Fool was made into a CBS television movie starring Walter Matthau, Carol Burnett, John Stamos, and Teri Polo in 1998.
The playwright will host a discussion after the performance.
