Description

By Beth Henley Dramatists Play Service (Paperback, $5.95, ISBN: 0822218763, 1/2003) “Signature makes a disturbing imprint with its impression of the future … to say we’d better take notice or we’re doomed.” —Poughkeepsie Journal. THE STORY: Two brothers, Boswell and Maxwell, are living in Los Angeles in the year 2052. Knowing he is seriously ill, Boswell seeks to revive his fame as a once acclaimed art philosopher. In his obsession to leave a legacy, a signature, he pushes away the love of a young woman (named William) who is a dedicated worker on the Splat Out Crew. The younger brother, Maxwell, becomes so distraught when his wife, L-Tip, divorces him on video divorce that he calls up the Euthanasia Hot Line and requests to be “euthed” because of a broken heart. Max is thus transformed into an icon of twenty-first-century romantic love and suddenly discovers the wonders of glamour and the price of fame.
