Little Monsters

Om Little Monsters

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.'" And that is what Alan Bowne's great plays-BEIRUT, SHARON AND BILLY-are about. 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.
