Published by Dramatists Play Service
3 Male 0 Female
Sky works at a community counseling center, helping others, yet harboring deep seated frustrations which he takes out on those around him
Twin has a good position at Xerox, but he recently turned down a promotion offer, which is a mystery to Jello and Sky. The friends try to show each other up, both verbally and on the basketball court, but this escalates and, combined with the anger they feel from their everyday lives, the confrontations grow more physical
Slowly, they reveal their fears to one another and confront their self-deceptions, ending the play with less bravado and more understanding
A play which is by turns darkly serious and raucously funny and which was produced to critical praise in Chicago and Los Angeles
"What is so refreshing and challenging about Lamont's script is its wonderful irreverence" ~ Chicago Sun Times
"His dialogue is rich, flavorful and rough, but there is much humor in it" ~ LA Downtown News
