SHOE MAN

a World Premiere by Jeff Daniels

April 25, 1991 – July 21, 1991

Set in a small town, Jeff Daniels’ first play spoofs some of the community’s passionate beliefs, including the grand game of golf. The intertwining of these passions, both on and off the course, leads to infidelity, mayhem, and critical lessons in the proper way of hitting a seven iron.

PRESS QUOTES

“… highly theatrical, slightly absurdist in tone, satirical and cartoonish in style, and very funny. There’s a compelling new comedic voice to be heard here … intelligent, sophisticated … and thoroughly original … Daniels has a freshly wry sense of what is humorous in American culture and romance.”

– The Detroit News

“… a romp of a play … It is a woozie jitterbug that punishes infidelity with a seven iron to the beanie.”

– Lansing State Journal
