Synopsis
Rag and Bone
Published by Dramatists Play Service
5 Male 2 Female
For lovers of the surreal ...
Meet brothers Jeff and George who run The Ladder Store
Which is actually a front for their business in black-market hearts
Hearts which are bought and sold for people who can't feel enough
This odd-ball comedy begins when George steals the heart of a poet
The play then follows the Poet with No Heart
And a Hooker with a Heart of gold
And her pimp T-Bone, who feels too damn much
And the Millionaire, who eventually receives the Poet's Heart
And thereby sees a whole different world
Jeff and George have recently lost their mother
So they put her heart into George's body
And now George is wearing a dress, drinking martinis, and cooking pot roasts
