LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION is the story of four male members of the same family (father, three sons), all played by the same actor.
In the first scene (AS A COURTESY TO OUR NEIGHBORS), Barry, the eldest, an essentially homeless man, meets a young, downwardly-mobile African American man in front of a coffee bar. Barry gives him a crash course in learning to survive by one’s wits on the streets of New York.
In Scene Two (NO PEOPLE WITHOUT DOGS), the middle child, Greg, meets a wealthy woman late at night in a dog park. While we realize that these are two lonely people making a desperate attempt to connect, there is a dark secret at the heart of Greg’s presence in the dog park. He’s been in a long term relationship with a wealthy man whose attempts to transform Greg from unschooled stoner to a gay socialite “wife” have backfired.
The youngest son, James, is the focus of the third scene (PARK CLOSES AT DUSK). He, too, is in a long term relationship that is starting to crumble. The play deals with his attempts to get his 15-year old, adopted mixed-race son to understand why his parents are “divorcing.”
In the final scene (LINE FORMS AT NOON), we meet Luther, the father of the family, as he prepares to meet his three sons on his 75thbirthday. He is cared for by Edith, a middle-aged African American Medicare nurse. Their relationship is one of mutual need and mutual suspicion, two people who have essentially nothing in common but have been forced to form bonds as fate (in the form of the health care system) has pushed them together. Luther re-assesses his life in a way he never has, in a clumsy effort to understand his estranged relationship with his sons.
The play has four exterior scenes and has a cast of six: two Caucasian men (one is his 40s, one in his 20s), one African American man (in his 30s), one mixed race male (mid-teens), one African American female (40s) and one Caucasian female (early 40s).
