G.B. Shaw's "Heartbreak House" is a favorite of his and he has expressed a desire to perform this play with award winning actress Samantha Eggar as part of his 100th birthday celebration year. Starring: Norman Lloyd • Ed Asner • Charles Shaughnessy • Samantha Eggar • Jane Windsor • Monty Markham
Phil Proctor • Diane Mercer • Charlotte Rae • Paul Keith • Leonard Maltin Norman Lloyd stars as the octogenarian Sea Captain of a Bohemian household set in pre-World War I England. This play is a metaphor for the world of today, as much as when it was first produced. In summarizing this play, a quote from Shakespeare’s, Midsummer Night's Dream comes to mind, "What Fools these Mortals Be". —Peggy Webber, Director |
