You Only Hurt the Ones You Love
Author: David J. Holcombe
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1546274685
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
You Only Hurt the Ones You Love is a collection of short plays by David J. Holcombe. The subject matter varies from food poisoning to Czech folk dancing, with lots of odd topics in between. The common denominator remains a keen sense of social observation and a desire to translate those findings into meaningful theater. While it is understood that many people want to be entertained rather than educated or harangued, most of these plays deal with weighty and sometimes controversial topics, often approached with humor. Artists have the responsibility to translate our world, so chaotic, disturbing, or even repulsive, into something concise, poignant, and beautiful, a far cry from simply entertaining. If you can learn something, so much the better.

In this breezy Irish tale, twenty-six-year-old Aislin is at a crossroads. As a Dublin single mammy, a lot of her life needs improvement, yet what she really needs is a father.

So Aislin follows the mad impulse to track down the perfect father-figure for her little boy. Who else but her first love, Ben Carpenter? Ben is great dad material, and has a lovely manor house tucked away in County Galway.
