Synopsis

ACT I
 
[Madhav's House]
 
Madhav. What a state I am in! Before he came, nothing mattered; I felt so free. But now that he has come, goodness knows from where, my heart is filled with his dear self, and my home will be no home to me when he leaves. Doctor, do you think he—
 
Physician. If there's life in his fate, then he will live long. But what the medical scriptures say, it seems—
 
Madhav. Great heavens, what?
 
Physician. The scriptures have it: "Bile or palsey, cold or gout spring all alike."
 
Madhav. Oh, get along, don't fling your scriptures at me; you only make me more anxious; tell me what I can do.
 
Physician [Taking snuff] The patient needs the most scrupulous care.
 
Madhav. That's true; but tell me how.
 
Physician. I have already mentioned, on no account must he be let out of doors.
 
Madhav Poor child, it is very hard to keep him indoors all day long.
 
Physician. What else can you do? The autumn sun and the damp are both very bad for the little fellow—for the scriptures have it:

    Neil Simon takes a good look at apartment life, career and role reversals, a nervous breakdown, and the love, torture, care, or inertia that somehow keeps a couple in a relationship for many years. At points, it's laugh-out-loud funny; at other times, it offers sensitive insight into the human condition. Fast-moving dialog with nonstop Simon quips and jokes performed extremely well by two fine actors: who could ask for more? This is classic American comedy produced, acted, recorded, and packaged in an exemplary manner.An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Annie Abbott, Lorin Dreyfuss, Richard Dreyfuss, Betty Garrett, Sharon Madden and Marsha Mason.

    The Merry Muses of Caledonia

    The Merry Muses of Caledonia is among Burns' best known, but least read, work. This collection of bawdy poems, some written by and some collected by Burns, ranges from celebrations of spirited women in "Ellibanks", to misogyny in "There was twa wives" and male fantasy in "Nine Inch will please a lady". These engaging poems are not lewd or distasteful but possess a great wit and charm. This new edition updates the 1959 printing, which with engaging accompanying material by James Barke and preface by J. De Lancey Ferguson have made this the definitive version, until now. "The Merry Muses" was always intended to be accompanied by music but the 1959 edition was left incomplete due to Barke's premature death. For the first time the book is completed as it was always meant to be with notes to the tunes created with reference to Barke's unpublished papers. "The Luath Merry Muses" edition also includes bonus material with specially commissioned illustrations from top political satirist Bob Dewar and an introduction by Burns scholar Valentina Bold. Ferguson's work is brought up to date with commentary on the latest critical responses. This new edition will make this classic of Burns' literature more accessible to modern readers.
