Burlesque on the Beach September 17, 2010

Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer prize, this warm-hearted, humorous and affectionate study, set in 1948, is about the unlikely relationship between a rich, sharp-tongued Southern Jewish woman of 72, and a proud, soft-spoken black man who is not impressed with her patronizing tone, and, what he believes to be her latent prejudice. But, in a series of absorbing scenes spanning twenty-five years, the two, despite their mutual differences, and the times in which they live, grow closer and more dependent on each other, until, eventually, they become loyal friends... almost a couple.
