Description

Nominee, Governor General's Literary Award for Drama, 2001

Well-known playwright Clem Martini whets the appetite for three one-act plays.

In "Conversations with My Neighbor's Pit Bull," Robert Teller tries to get along with his neighbor via his pit bull.

In "House of Glass" 12?year?old Ellen must make amends with her neighbor for stealing condoms from her store.

In "Up on the Roof" three characters are stranded on a rooftop and must comes to terms with their disintegrating lives and an uncertain future.

A Three Martini Lunch takes you on a culinary tour of urban angst.

"In these three interrelated plays, Clem Martini's characters struggle with public and private dilemmas on lawns, bakyards and rooftops. Hilarious and poignant, the writing crackles with irony and wisdom"
-- Governor General's Award Committee
