This
is part two of the hit comedy, Over The Tavern. If you know nothing about
Over The Tavern, ...tha's o.k. we won't hold it against you, this play will
stand on it's own.
”King o’ the Moon”
transports the Pazinskis from the conservative ‘50’s to the
rebellious ‘60’s. Rudy, now 22
is a seminary student honoring his father’s deathbed wish that his son
should become a priest.
Brother Eddie is married, on the brink of fatherhood, and about to
ship out for Vietnam. As the
play opens on July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 is about to land on the moon; Rudy
has gone AWOL from the seminary to participate in his first anti-war
protest: Sister Annie is
contemplating a divorce; and romance is blooming for Rudy’s widowed mom,
Ellen. The new play-like the
decade in which it is set-has greater urgency and sharper realism than its
predecessor, as the adult Pazinskis tackle grown-up issues.
