POLKA DOT TUXEDO

Book excerpt: POLKA DOT TUXEDO is a book of original one act satiric plays and poems, on the subjects of social affairs, art and politics. The collection of vivid and stimulating plays and poems presents a world of adversity, illusion and the grotesque.

Plays include: “Hippie,” about an unruly resident confronting the manager of his quiet apartment building. “The Great Surrealist Class,” presents artist Salvador Dali refusing to teach his art class students. “Royal Patient,” conveys a psychiatric hospital reality with weird doctor and patient relations - especially the patient, Queen Cleopatra.
