a biting satire set in a humorous context. Paul and Linda and very senior citizens who reside in Mt. Gilead Retirement Home. They have devised some schemes to assist with finances. For openers, they have told everyone they are married. Secondly, Paul draws an extra check from the government because he is (supposedly) mentally ill. Of course, they have to maintain both pretenses on a daily basis. Meet a couple with the independent perspective that throws everything out of balance: the family, the staff, other residents … and the once peaceful tranquility of Mt. Gilead. |
