LAUNDRY & BOURBON

LAUNDRY & BOURBON

By James McClure

​

Directed by Katie Sills

 

On a hot summer afternoon in Maynard, Texas, Elizabeth and her friend Hattie sit out on the front porch folding laundry, watching TV, sipping bourbon and Coke, and gossiping about small-town secrets.  They are joined by the self-righteous Amy Lee who can't resist blurting out that Elizabeth's husband Roy has been seen around town with another woman. While the ensuing conversation is increasingly edged with bitter humor, from it emerges a sense of Elizabeth's inner strength and her quiet understanding of the turmoil which has beset her husband since his return from Vietnam.
