George Is Dead: Lisa Emery (Carla), Marlo Thomas (Doreen), Grant Shaud (Michael), Patricia O’Connell (Nanny), Rickman (Funeral Director) and Moore (Assistant Funeral Director).[5] The play considers "the hilarity of death."[2]Honeymoon Motel: Steve Guttenberg (Jerry Spector), Ari Graynor (Nina Roth), Shaud (Eddie), Caroline Aaron (Judy Spector), Julie Kavner (Fay Roth), Mark Linn-Baker (Sam Roth), Richard Libertini (Rabbi Baumel), Jason Kravits (Dr. Brill), Hoch (Sal Buonacotti) and Bill Army (Paul Jessup).[6] The plot involves an unusual wedding, and takes place in a motel on a highway. OverviewWoody Allen said of the plays: “It’s a broad comedy, for laughs, no redeeming social value." The plays are described as involving various family members.[7] Santo Loquasto "designed sets for each play that suggest each author’s film persona." The design for the Allen play is a "colorful, comical design for the motel, with its circular bed and pink Jacuzzi."[8]References1. ^Healy, Patrick.
