Mostly Harmless Productions
Presents
"You Know I Can't Hear You When the Water’s Running!"
by Robert Anderson
Directed by Shera Dawn
The third production of the inaugural season of Mostly Harmless is the hit
Broadway comedy You Know I Can’t Hear You When the Water’s Running.
This rarely produced show is a collection of four one-act comedies in which writer Robert
Anderson famously handled the topic of sex with skill and taste, producing hilarious results.
In The Shock of Recognition, a playwright and a begrudging producer argue over nudity
in an upcoming show, when they are joined by an overeager actor who is more than
willing to show his stuff.
The Footsteps of Doves focuses on Harriet and George, a married couple shopping for
twin beds after many years of marriage.
In I'll Be Home for Christmas, Edith and her husband Chuck lock horns over how much
sex-education to give their almost adult children.
I'm Herbert is a scattered conversation between Herbert and Muriel, an elderly couple
with memory problems who try in vain to recall their earlier relationships, what they've
done with who, and even who they are talking to.
Collectively this warm-hearted quartet of amusing short plays is designed to captivate the
audience with its universal appeal.
