Based on the book “Forty Crazy Years of Friendship” written by Richard Hulse, "Old Friends" is a one act play about deep friendships:
The BMOC (Big Man On Campus) - The popular, heroic friend who always comes through in a bind. He is the coolest guy in the neighborhood.
The Best Friend, The Intellectual Family Member, The Comic Relief, and The Scorned Brother
This is a story of one man's journey in dealing with the unexpected death of his best friend. They are reunited in the best friend's burnt condominium to take a walk down the path of remembrance and reconciliation to the demons within.
We are all reminded of our childhood …
Reminded of our triumph s…
Reminded of our losses …
Reminded of all of the secrets that were kept …
Reminded of the joy …
Reminded of the pain …
And through it all ... We are reminded of what makes a us whole … our old friends.
Through Hulse's moving tribute to his best friend, Bob Arnold has written this play to celebrate the story of these friends who shared the very essence of what life is all about. Death leaves a hole that is difficult to heal, but love leaves memories that no one can steal. Join in to celebrating a story of old friends. You'll be glad that you did.
