Graceful Living – The Whole Story
July 3, 1981. In “Graceful Living for the Lower Middle Classes,” a gated community where all the houses look the same, Mrs. Messmer, Mrs. Noll and Mrs. Pliner, gather for a finger food party as they brace themselves for a somber anniversary. Can Charlie’s Angels, deviled eggs, straight vodka and Ilona the parrot with the siren-song help them find strength and comfort?
An absurd, tragic and funny story about surviving loss and surviving friendship.
Graceful Living – The Whole Story is a RoughCut Production.
