A SPOT OF BOTHER

Just when George Hall begins to enjoy retirement, his divorced daughter, Katie, announces her plans to wed a fellow whom he and his wife think is beneath her. Charles Keating playfully tackles this complicated story and delivers line after line with sarcasm, humor, and compassion. As the wedding plans progress, Keating conveys the emotional impact of George's wife's mid-life affair with his former business partner, his son's homosexual relationship, his daughter's inability to make up her mind about tying the knot, and his certainty that he's suffering with cancer--all while sustaining the comical quality of the story.
