HPU Presents HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES 11/10-12/4

Set in Sunnyside, Queens, on that day in 1965 when Pope Paul VI visited New York, John Guare's early, breakthrough play features mockingly observed nuns, a lethal (but farcical) political bombing, a G.I. earmarked for Vietnam and, as a protagonist, a zookeeper who dreams in vain of making it big in Hollywood as a songwriter.

As if that weren't enough countercultural loopiness, the zoo keeper, Artie Shaughnessy, has a wife named Bananas who really is bananas and destined for the institution that provides the play's title.
