Three the Hard Way $9.99

Linda Eisenstein

Published by Dramatic Publishing

1 Male 3 Female

Three unconventional sisters, separated by geography and their own history, meet in a Reno motel after the sudden death of their colorful gambler father, Albert

As they go through his effects and make funeral arrangements they also try to make sense of their past and their own spiky relationships - with the kibitzing ghost of Albert looking on

This play is peppered with sharp, surprising comedy and features strong, complex ensemble roles

Kathleen, a tough negotiator and pool player, who has borne the responsibilities and resentments of the eldest child in a motherless family

And Irene, a compulsive gambler and flirt who lives by her wits and intuition

Along with Mary, a vulnerable waitress who has been the family's emotional caretaker; and Albert, a Zen pool and craps player whose parenting was well-intentioned but haphazard

Three the Hard Way was a winner of the Gilmore Creek Play Competition
