Miss Lonelyhearts $13

Howard Teichmann from Nathanael West

Published by Dramatists Play Service

6 Male 7 Female

"A scornful feature editor of a newspaper picks an ambitious young reporter to conduct the advice of the lovelorn column

Ambitious, opportunistic, 'Miss Lonelyhearts,' as the conductor of the column is inevitably dubbed, begins with contempt of the correspondents and confidence in his own cleverness

As time goes on, the genuineness of the agony in the letters that come in gets under the skin of the columnist. He is distressed to find himself presiding over a monstrous swindle

For he is an idealist in collision with humanity, as his diabolical managing editor expresses it" ~ NY Times

"I enjoyed this one better than anything that's come along this season. I liked its suspense and pace and its staging Lonely Hearts impressed me as a solid, worthwhile drama" ~ NY News
