Romantic poetry

by John Patrick Shanley

MusicalsLibrettosMarried peopleDramaLove storiesRomance fiction

"From the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning author comes this crackpot musical romance. Connie of Woodmere has just married Fred of Newark, but her exes are back in the picture and not sure they approve of the union. Mary of Greenpoint climbs Frankie of Little Italy's fire escape with amorous and erotic intent -- but things go awry as she reaches for her dream. A fanciful musical romance about our need for dreams and for each other, Romantic Poetry puts the lunatic, the lover and the poet onstage and lets them sing."--P. 4 of cover.
