This line is delivered toward the end of Claudia Allen's new play Cahoots . I was neither amused nor unstrung by this world-premier drama and production.
Cahoots is a comedy without sparkle, although there are some bright moments and performances.
These plays were popular during the Depression because they presented the triumph of all that was impossible or improbable before the downward plunge of the stock market. At the conclusion of the plays, the lovers form a new society which excludes or defames those who cannot adjust to the world with the same humor and common sense. The lovers in Cahoots meet during the Depression in 1934. They are a mismatched, unlikely pair according to the norms of the period. Madeline is an important addition to Claudia Allen's gallery of strong women characters.
