Charlie Cox Runs With Scissors
Charlie Cox Runs With Scissors
"The playwright seems to have been influenced by the Ingmar Bergman film The Seventh Seal, but rather than make this a heavy drama, he has turned it into a romantic comedy fantasy." —TalkinBroadway.com
Comedy. By Michael McKeever.

Cast: 3m., 2w. When Charlie Cox, a middle-aged editor, learns that he has the incurable, degenerative condition known as Lou Gehrig's disease, he gets in his car and starts driving. He soon finds himself in the Arizona desert, where he uncharacteristically picks up a hitchhiker, a sarcastic, impatient guy named Wally, who happens to be his own personal death emissary. As Wally urges him to get it over with, lovely, sexy Kiki enters the picture wearing dark glasses since "love is blind." Wally is infuriated when love blossoms between Charlie and the widow Nell, and the ensuing battle between Death and Love teaches Charlie the importance of living life to the fullest. One interior set. Approximate running time: 90 minutes.
