Fuddy Meers by David Lindsay-Abaire
Claire has a rare form of psychogenic amnesia that erases her memory whenever she goes to sleep. This morning, like all mornings, she wakes up a blank slate. A limping, lisping, half-blind, half-deaf man in a ski mask, pops out from under her bed and claims to be her brother, there to save her. She's hustled off to the country-house of her mother, a recent stroke victim whose speech has been reduced to utter gibberish. A dimwitted thug with a foul-mouthed hand puppet pops up at a window, her driven husband and perpetually stoned son show up with a claustrophobic lady-cop that they've kidnapped. It's one harrowing and hilarious turn after another on this roller coaster ride through the day of an amnesiac trying to decipher her fractured life.
This poignant and brutal comedy traces one woman's attempt to regain her memory while surrounded by a curio-cabinet of alarmingly bizarre characters.
Loudmouth Collective closes its second season with David Lindsay-Abaire's Fuddy Meers, a John Gassner Playwrighting Award winner.
