“How’d you like to be on
television?”This question, posed by
future daughter-in-law Anne, takes Loff DuVall by surprise.After all, he and May June had been running
the Hampton Court trailer park for more years than either would care to admit.The last thing he’d want now is to be in some
reality TV show.In fact, he was hoping
he and May June could get away for a while, take a long vacation from the
place.He wouldn’t have to listen to
Goose Halford’s long stories, such as how he grandpa has a metal plate in his
head. “The kids used to catch him asleep and put ‘frigerator magnets on his
forehead”, he confides in Loff.Or
having to help Lydia Spagway’s grandkid who just got her hand caught in a toilet.Add to this Rhonda DeFalco’s gossip, Vonell
Raffrerty looking for buried treasure with her metal detector and Etta
Frobisher’s threat to close down his business, he’s really at the end of his
rope.But Anne’s idea, coupled with the
fact she’s practically engaged to son, Larry, shows Loff a way out.Except that, for the show to succeed, Loff
can’t leave!Throw in a conniving
producer, a retired lieutenant colonel and everyone showing up looking like
run-over hillbillies and Loff or May June just don’t know what’s to become of
them, their tenants or the trailer park.This two-act comedy is full of oddball characters and will have your
audience laughing and falling in love with all those at Hampton Court Trailer
Park.
