Synopsis
A Thousand Clowns
Published by Samuel French Inc
4 Male 1 Female
He has tired of writing cheap comedy for a children's television program and finds himself unemployed with some free time to saunter through New York and do everything he has always wanted to do like standing on Park Avenue in the dawn's early light and hollering, "All right, all you rich people; everybody out in the street for volleyball"
When social services comes to insure that the nephew is receiving a proper upbringing, he finds himself solving their problems
Eventually, he must go back to work or lose his nephew, or he might marry the social worker
In any case, he remains one of the funniest non conformist of the stage
