Snakebit By David Marshall Grant

Meet three blind mice: an unhappily married thirtysomething couple--he's a nearly successful actor, she's an actress ignominiously turned brownie baker--and their gay best friend, a former dancer who's now an ineffectual social worker. Smart and smart-alecky, none of them know how to shift the course of their sorry lives. A young stranger shows up at the Los Angeles bungalow they're temporarily sharing. Secrets are revealed, life choices are examined, change is attempted. With passion and humor, Grant's sinewy off-Broadway drama digs deep into the souls of characters whose problems are all too universal. An appealing cast performs with perfect pitch.
