| Publisher Description: "To Anna, With Love" is a four-act comedy centered around Albert, a widower in his golden years. Albert's wife, Anna, has been deceased for over a year, and he has decided to take up writing to occupy his time. However, his so-called empty hours are anything but empty. His daughter Patty calls daily to check up on him, Frank (his next-door neighbor and best friend of thirty years) continuously drops in unannounced, and Florence (a widow who has buried five husbands and attends Albert's church) has her sights set on making Albert husband number six. Being a man of old-fashioned principles, Albert agrees to take Florence (a.k.a. the 'Black Widow') to the church dance so she won't have to go alone. Frank, however, is certain that Albert is making a huge mistake by escorting Florence to the dance, and he protests in earnest, terrified that Albert will not survive the 'ordeal'. To further complicate the situation, Patty shows up on the same weekend for a surprise visit with her thirteen-year-old son, Benjamin, in tow. As Frank predicted, Albert's date with Florence does not go as planned, and Patty is awakened at 1 A.M. by a phone call stating that there has been an accident and her father is in the hospital. Will Albert ever get to write his life stories, or has the 'Black Widow' claimed her sixth victim? More importantly, does our love for a spouse, now deceased, prevent us from ever feeling whole again-or can we honor it by daring to fall in love all over again. |
