Synopsis

Purlie Victorious - A Comedy in Three Acts

$10.99

Ossie Davis

Published by Samuel French Inc

6 Male 3 Female

This classic comedy combines all of the cliches about the old south and the love between masters and slaves

Purlie Victorious has come back to his shabby cabin to reacquire the local church and ring the freedom bell. An inheritance due to a cousin would supply the needed cash, but unfortunately it is controlled by the plantation colonel

When Purlie sends an imposter to the colonel to claim the inheritance, is she unmasked and the colonel makes a pass at her

Eventually the church is recovered, services are again held and the freedom bell rings. Sparkling dialogue makes every event uproarious

"A bucketful of bristling laughs. Wild, outrageous fantasy .. A rich and rollicking irony. Unique in style, rich in its highly individual humor." N.Y. Herald Tribune
