CEMENT HANDS | AVARICE

Diana Colvin, 21, rich and “the finest girl in the world,” is engaged to marry Roger Osterman, 27, very rich and “the finest young fellow in the world.” With the help of a mystified waiter, Diana’s uncle (her lawyer and guardian) sets up a play within a play to make sure Diana knows what she is getting into: marriage to a supreme tightwad who can give away millions to charity but can’t leave a tip. Set in a fancy New York City hotel, Wilder’s play about the Deadly Sin of Avarice is full of high-jinx and delivers a serious message.
