The American Community Theater presents Little Murders, Jules Feiffer¡¦s Obie Award-winning jet black comedy. Feiffer described the play as being ¡§inspired by if you will, by the assassination of JFK and the shooting of Oswald a week later.¡¨  

 

Little Murders is a satire where madness rules and humour is derived from the outrageously off-kilter world views of the characters: a modern metropolitan family with a matriarchal mother, milquetoast father, bright sassy sister Patsy, and brother Kenny who is trying to adapt himself to his homosexuality.

 

Patsy¡¦s fiancé Alfred is a once successful photographer who suffers from an inability to feel or be passionate about anything. She has taken it upon herself to mould Alfred into ¡§a strong, vital, self-assured man that I can protect and take care of.¡¨ He is a fellow who knows how to roll with the punches; he figures that if you daydream while being mugged, it won¡¦t hurt so much.

 

The two of them have a hard time finding a preacher who will marry them without pronouncing the name of God. Then, a sniper attacks, and a detective who has a stack of unsolved crimes suspects that there is a subtle pattern forming here.
