TWISTER

by Heifner, Jack

This play deals with the plight of Betty and Roy, the only visible survivors of a tornado which has destroyed their tiny Texas town, along with their house and all their possessions. Once the initial shock of the situation has worn off, Roy sets about trying to restore things to what they were, whilst Berry, suddenly freed from all the junk with which she had been living, decides that she would rather move on and start a new life elsewhere. The resulting debate is both hilarious and revealing as much to Roy’s upset, Betty pours out all her frustrations she has kept bottled up over the years, together with her aspirations for the future. Available in a volume entitled Natural Disasters.
