Lost in Yonkers

By America’s great comic playwright, this memory play is set in Yonkers in 1942. Bella is thirty-five years old, intellectually disabled, and living at home with her mother, stern Grandma Kurnitz. As the play opens, ne’er-do-well son Eddie deposits his two teenage sons (Jay and Arty) on Grandma’s doorstep. He is financially strapped and taking to the road as a salesman. The boys are left to contend with Grandma, with Bella, her secret romance, and with Louie, her brother, a small-time hoodlum in a strange new world called Yonkers. Growing up is never easy… especially NYC’s Sixth Borough
