The first play by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, Fuddy Meers made its off-Broadway debut in 1999. Upon opening, the play quickly earned rave reviews and praise for its author as a "comic genius."
Focusing on the kidnapping of Claire, an amnesiac, and featuring such characters as a lady cop with a chip on her shoulder and an escaped convict/ventriloquist with a foul-mouthed puppet, Fuddy Meers' madhouse plot celebrates mayhem all the way through its unexpected conclusion.
