About
the Play:
New Beat on an Old Drum is a full-length romantic comedy by
Kurtz Gordon. Blending
humour, suspense and romance, New Beat on an Old Drum is an absorbing play that deals with the
come-uppance of a super-smooth real estate developer out to trick a
group of seemingly gullible ladies.
New Beat on an Old Drum tells
the story of Jane Shaw, a young teacher, arrives in
Harbor Haven, Long Island to spend the summer at the beach
house inherited from her aunt. She discovers
her neighbours (four slightly "pixilated" widows)
have agreed to sell their land to a dashing real estate operator,
and Jane's inherited is needed to complete the "package."
Sensing a trick, Jane, and her teenage niece, Linda, take a closer
look at the affairs of the developer, Rock Harrington, and end up
deciding to reject his offer. In the ensuing complications Jane is
aided by her good friend Gary Roberts (also in real estate); Linda
finds herself pursued by several attractive young men; and another
niece, the headstrong Mimi, arrives unannounced (and much to the
others' dismay) to further confuse matters. In the end Jane's
suspicions are borne out; Rock Harrington is foiled by his own
cleverness; the "widows" receive a very advantageous
counter-offer; and Linda meets the kind of boy who would delight any
young girl's summer. Proving again that the more things change the
more they really remain the same – just a new beat on an old drum.
New Beat on an Old Drum has
been
performed
in high school and community theatre productions.
