The Little Monsters
Description
THE LITTLE MONSTERS tells the story of, in the author's words: Maurice, a bald myopic WASP in his late 50s; Kip, a slight, plain, scruffy male in his late teens, of Irish extraction; 3-Yard, a coarse, handsome, well-built male in his late teens, of Italian extraction; and Gooey, a plump, flashy, Jewish female in her late teens — a hitter.

Press Quotes
From Interview, August 1987 by Kevin Sessums:
“There’s a creature known in the South as a feist dog. Little. Scraggly. High-strung. You know where one lives by a backyard full of barks. The thing’ll take on a German shepard — shit, the whole German army — if it thinks its territory is being threatened. But it likes kids too. And it likes the feel of a hand on its underbelly. Playwright and screenwriter Alan Bowne, whose work concerns the scraggly underbelly of life itself, has the friendly tenacity of one of those tight-tailed mutts … Bowne didn’t start writing until he was 35. Before that? ‘I bummed around. Drug dealer. Movie extra. Junkie …’ He begins to growl away at a number of subjects … Love: ‘Living without love is death itself. If you have love in your life — the true thing — then you’ve got everything.'”
