About the Book

People of the past appear in various forms in this two-act mystery-comedy set on Logan Street in the heart of Charleston, South Carolina's renowned Historic District. Indomitable Charleston matron Charlotte Butler raises thousands of flowers to the hum of classical music, cultivates birds, plays championship bridge, ballroom dances daily, sometimes cleans her own house, and spars with both her parrot Jacob and flighty neighbor Ginny (Gin) Middleton. Gin's latest flame is the distinguished former New Hampshire Senator Mark Smythe, now a Logan Street resident, who appears to have a curious interest in Charlotte. When Gin has to cancel one of her dates with Mark because of an emergency in Savannah, he slips in and visits Charlotte. The visit proves to be more than one of mere curiosity, as we discover that these two bizarre people have much in common. Charlotte makes Mark accompany her to St. Phillip's Cemetery at night where they encounter someone she does not want to see.
About the Author: Gallo is a prolific producer, director and dramatist with over 60 works completed since he left his distinguished career as a nationally recognized food marketing economist in 1996. [EL 10] Gallo owns his own theater company, the Seventh Street Playhouse [EL 3], and motion picture company, Eastern Market Studios [EL 8]. While he defines himself as a Judea-Christian playwright, all of his plays are meant for general audiences. His only guiding maxim is that there are a million roads to God, "and I hope I am on the right one." Two of his plays are Holocaust dramas (Margherita, Eugenio); two are Biblical (The Agony of David, The Last Days of King Solomon); and five are about the American civilization (Vandergrift!, Lincoln and God, Better than the Best, Charleston Revisited, and the Botticelli Cruise). His play, Paul, is an examination of the life of the Apostle. Heathcliff is his first absurdist comedy [R18]. Gallo's plays have been staged nearly 100 times in 40 venues including in Washington, DC: The Kennedy Center [Additional Reference (AR) Y], The National Press Club [R15, R16], Woolly Mammoth Theatre, Cosmos Theatre [R3], The Universalist Stage, The Warehouse Theater, The Corner Store Stage, and the Capital Fringe Festival; in New York City: New York University, New York International Midtown Festival/Dorothy Strelsin Stage, The Dramatists Guild of America [R5], Casa Italiana, Where Eagles Dare Theatre, Abingdon Theatre, and Midtown International Theatre Festival where one of his actresses won best supporting actress; in Maryland: The Greenbelt Arts Center [AR W], Silver Spring Stage/PF, and St. John's Church; as well as other venues in Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Three of his plays (Margherita, Eugenio, and Lincoln and God)are under contract to the Nederlander Producing Group for production in New York City. Margherita is scheduled to be jointly produced by Brown-Nederlander and the Seventh Street Playhouse in 2012.
