SAVE ME A PLACE AT FOREST LAWN is a small but perceptive slice of the lives of two old women, Clara and Gertrude, as they lunch at a cafeteria and face the uncertain interval of life still remaining. Tired, lonely, and weary of it all, they meet daily to discuss their grandchildren, to recall their early life, and to contemplate death, which lurks outside the cafeteria. Yet theirs is a resignation touched with wisdom and humor. When one of the ladies reveals that she had an affair with the other's husband many years before, her friend concedes very casually that she had known about it all along. At the time she had concluded that no great harm would come of it and, besides, it seemed better to protect the friendship which might, in later years, relieve their final, mutual loneliness. -- Dramatists Play Service.

This intimate musical revue is a zany, hilarious spoof dedicated to satirizing every conceivable aspect of show business. Among the many skits are a pointed parody of theatre party ladies, a wrestling match between the "Elephant Man" and the paraplegic hero of Whose Life Is It Anyway?, the traumas of a suburban couple getting to and going from the theater, a madrigal on the popularity of British plays and performers, and takeoffs on critics and Joseph Papp and his Public Theatre. It's a perfect show for anyone involved with the theatre.
