Synopsis

This brief play was initially presented on New York's Channel 13 (Educational Television) as part of a special program on pollution and conservation entitled Foul! Both touching and disturbing, it centers on three aging ladies sitting on the stoop of a run-down city brownstone, commenting quietly on the inexorable disintegration of the quality, and possibility, of life. Their mood is resigned—but terrifying as well—as they accept the ebbing away of freshness and beauty and the element of hopefulness that was once so easily taken for granted.
