The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window

First staged in 1964, The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window is the probing, hilarious, and provocative story of Sidney, a disenchanted Greenwich Village intellectual, his wife Iris, an aspiring actress, and their colorful circle of friends and relations.

Set against the shenanigans of a stormy political campaign, the play follows its characters in their unorthodox quests for meaningful lives in an age of corruption, alienation, and cynicism. With compassion, humor, and poignancy, the author examines questions concerning the fragility of love, morality and ethics, interracial relationships, drugs, rebellion, conformity, and especially withdrawal from or commitment to the world.
