Continental Divide
Lucille and Cullum are wealthy New Yorkers in the 1970’s, living as virtual
prisoners in their lavish Fifth Avenue apartment, the entire block being held in
a state of siege by rebelling domestic servants. They are, however, allowed a
visit by their new in-laws, "Mr. John" and Mae, who hail from Arkansas and
qualify as simple folk themselves. Thereafter the complications multiply
uproariously, as the refined Cullum struggles (at no small peril) to be civil to
the surly Mr. John (who is in the garbage business and a confessed murderer
as well); while his wife tries to persuade Mae (who is dazzled by "money
people") that she need not repay their hospitality by cleaning house furiously
and doling out copious samples of her homemade pickled pigs feet. And so it
goes until, in a final irony, Lucille (with Mr. John) runs the blockade disguised
as her house guest—leaving Cullum to hold the fort and fend off the down-
home ministrations of her starry-eyed replacement.
"With its basic thoughts on the differences between poor and rich,
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE has a fresh viewpoint and crisp laughs." —
Washington Post. "…a diverting farcical evening." —Washington Evening
Star.
"This play contains adult situations and language. Parental guidance is
advised."
