Synopsis
Any Given Day
Published by Samuel French Inc
6 Male 3 Female
The household is ruled by Mrs. Benti, a prescient and iron willed widow, and includes her three adult children: Carmen, Nettie, and Eddie as well as Carmen's illegitimate son Willis whom the others orbit like the sun
Eighteen year old Willis is mentally impaired and in a wheelchair. He appears both younger and older as he presides in often startling and humorous ways over the conflicting dreams, desires and passions that ebb and flow about him
The family appears to be making noble sacrifices in Willis' behalf, but each is actually using him for selfish ends
