Shirley, Goodness and Mercy Gordon Manning

The Great Divide It is the Information Age, and the election results have incited riots of seismic proportions. Outside, the streets call for a truce, a brief respite from the pandemonium. Inside, Shirley, Jack and Clovis sit in limbo, engulfed in a sea of conflicting emotions while trapped in a cramped elevator shaft, quite an unpleasant way to get acquainted. The second offering from Gordon Manning is one for the ages. A scintillating dark comedy with a colorful cast of characters, Shirley, Goodness and Mercy is an invitation to openness, a bluntly refreshing peek into the way we think when the lights go down.
