Synopsis

A Little Family Business

$10.99

Jay Presson Allen from Pierre Barillet & Jean Pierre Gredy

Published by Samuel French Inc

6 Male 4 Female

Ben is a conservative, bigoted chauvinist who runs an inherited Massachusetts carpet cleaning factory with a despotic hand

He has a heart attack and goes on a rehabilitating cruise, leaving his equally hard nosed daughter Lillian in charge of the business

Previously more interested in Neiman Marcus catalogues than cleaners, she averts a strike by improving working conditions, increases the profits and thinks of going into politics

Ben returns to find himself stripped of his power. Along the way, there's much comic confusion resulting from their extra marital affairs

"A sparking example of Broadway light comedy.... A bright and breezy comic bonanza" ~ WCBS TV

"A crisp, amusing comedy ... [with] snappy, original lines" ~ Wall Street Journal
