How Green Was My Gimlet

By Patricia Mclaine

In this three act farce, Dr. Herman Hildrone is a psychiatrist with an odd assortment of neurotic and psychotic patients both on and over the edge. His newest patients, suburbanites Georgie and David Pillow, are in the midst of a midlife crisis. Each of them is currently seeked satisfaction outside the bonds of marriage. George freaks out when their daughter Carol, 7, loses one of her front teeth. David is upset when son Billy, 12, quits the Boy Scouts because there aren't any girls in his troop. Georgie loves green cherries and green cherry juice in her vodka gimlets. David can't stand his gimlet with green cherry juice. Is the giant green cherry really going to get him? Neither of them knows the other is seeing Dr. Hildrone. Will their marriage be saved? This is a play about infidelity, midlife crisis, and vodka gimlets. Here's looking at you! The humor is very SNL in essence. This is definitely a farce.

Early on in my life I was a playwright. I won second place in a play contest with the first play I ever wrote. My three act comedy "Sidney" was also published by Eldridge Publishing. A few years later my romantic comedy "Love is Contagious" was produced at the Glendale Center Theater in California to enthusiastic reviews that convinced Dramatist Play Service to publish my play. Royalty checks have been received since 1961. I'd like to get the play on Smashwords. I'm waiting to hear from Dramatists. My passion is writing: plays, novels, books on the tarot, and screenplays. It's fun to make people laugh, cry or think. My primary motive is to entertain. That has also been true giving psychic readings since 1966! I'm now working on my second century of letting people know there are states of awareness and dimensions beyond the three in which most of us dwell. But I'm also still writing! More books on this website soon.
