a month of sundays
|
A Month of Sundays, a play by Bob Larbey, is a bittersweet comedy about growing old. The main character, Cooper, has voluntarily gone into a nursing home rather than become a burden on his family.
We deduce his valiant determination to hold on to his remaining dignity and independence through his banter, as he jokes with the other senior residents, flirts with the female staff, and keeps a close check on his own "record of physical deteriorations". Cooper drives the emotional development of the play with his acerbic wit and waspish asides, but we also glimpse his vulnerability.
