Past Shows: A Month of Sundays

Louis Spilman Auditorium at Waynesboro High School

Written by Bob Larbey, a delightful and poignant comedy from the writer of The Good Life and A Fine Romance.

Directed by Claire Hensley
Produced by June Hall and Becky Price

This gently amusing and moving play about old age revolves around Cooper and Aylott, two residents in a nursing home.  Cooper is physically disabled but mentally alert.  His best friend Aylott is physically fine, but suffering from the onset of dementia.  Cooper is very unhappy about the way he is treated and deals with everyone very cynically, except for Aylott and one nurse.  He especially has trouble dealing with his daughter and her husband.  As Aylott's condition continues to deteriorate, Cooper must learn to make the best of what life has to offer as well as come to terms with this family.  This gentle comedy is both funny and poignant.
