While she enjoys playing duets with Cara and gossiping aboutthe other tenants in their upper West Side apartment building, Margaret Maryvalues her independence above the dubious comforts that the constant presenceof the priggish Cara might provide. So Cara is shocked when Margaret Maryengages Robin Bird, a rather kooky young would-be actress, as her paid, live-incompanion. Relations between the three are strewn with hilarious pitfalls fromthe start, with additional comic complications being provided by amalaprop-prone Rumanian building superintendent and an eager younglawyer-suitor whom Robin Bird brings home for dinner. Ultimately things do fallinto place, and largely so because of the spirited will of Margaret Mary, whogoads the others to rise above their problems, to stake a personal claim onlife, and to resist, with all their strength, the infirmities and misfortunesthat flesh is heir to. All performances at: 833 Carroll Street Akron
