Play outline


Fuddy Meers revolves around an amnesiac, Claire, who wakes up every morning as a blank slate, on which her husband and teenage son must imprint the facts of her life.
 
On this particular day, the wild shenanigans begin with Claire being politely abducted by a limping man who claims to be her brother trying to save her from her evil husband. They drive to the home of her mother, who has had a stroke that left her aphasic (her attempt to say “funny mirrors” provides the play’s title).
 
The ensuing mayhem is both deliriously funny and oddly touching.


Characters


Claire: 40s – a generally sunny woman with amnesia
Richard: 40s – a chatty, friendly, sometimes nervous man
Kenny: 17 – a troubled teen
Limping Man: 40s – a lisping, limping, half-blind, half-deaf man with secrets
Gertie: 60s – Claire’s mother who knows the truth but can’t convey it due to a stroke-induced speech impairment
Millet: 30s or 40s – an odd man with a puppet
Heidi: 30s or 40s – a tough woman in uniform
