AUNT LAKIE'S NOT COMING TO DINNER

Directed by Jim McCunn, performed at the Phoenix Theatre in San Francisco, January 30-February 14, 2015.

Aunt Lakie’s Not Coming to Dinner is a comedy that tells the story of Iris and Claire - two elderly sisters in Skokie, Illinois. Iris escapes intermittent schizophrenia by cavorting with a young, hunky mailman who urges her to kill off Claire. Iris and Claire struggle with years-old resentments, betrayals, and secrets. Claire fears Iris’ outrageousness borders on insanity. For plot and character development, Susan researched mental illness, elder care, and U.S post office regulations – not generally the subjects of comedy.  ​
