Storm on Storm

by Gary Garrison

Norton Templer has been struck by lightning twice, gaining fame as New Jersey’s “weather-provoking” Lawn Furniture Salesman. But the real storm is at home, where his wife grows cold and his daughter is terrified to have him at her wedding.

    Gary Garrison's play is a great example of playwriting. Conflict from page on3. The drama escalates with Chicky's reading of each letter. Of course, Gary won awards and had productions.

    A unique premise leading to a deeper story. Norton is lucky to have this woman and the story is well told and makes us empathetic to them both. The dialogue is wonderful and there is anticipation as we see the tale unfold. This would be terrific on stage.

    A taut and hilarious look at fate, exasperation, and the push-and-pull of marriage. The 2023 reading by the Truro Playwrights Collective was delicious -- see it live if you can.
