William Inge – författare

This title collects four plays by American playwright William Inge, including Come Back Little Sheba, Picnic, Bus Stop, and The Dark at the Top of the Stairs.

William Inge''s famous story of marital frustration which erupts in violence. Doc and Lola had an indiscreet affair, she became pregnant and, compelled to marry her, he gave up his medical studies, forfeited his future and settled down to a life of quiet desperation with the simple, homey Lola, who lost the child but has remained Doc''s steadfast if slatternly wife. Now a chiropractor and recovering alcoholic, Doc''s sobriety is tested when Marie, a young college student becomes their boarder bringing new life and long-dormant hostilities to the surface of Doc and Lola''s troubled marriage.

Cherie was a chanteuse. She said, “I call m''self Cherie. Thass all the name ya need -- like Hidegarde. I won a amateur contest down in Joplin, Missouri, and that got me a job in a night club in Kanz City. But working in a night club ain''t all roses..."

Bo Decker had his picture taken by Life magazine because he was a champion professional rodeo rider. Bo had heard about women only he''d hardly ever seen one. Bo was a large, beautiful hunk of man -- but green as new grass when it came to Cherie.

Bo and Cherie got together when they were stranded at a bus stop one night.

Their story is one of high humor -- a mixture of brag, heartache, bluster, and the funniest tough love affair ever put on stage, screen, or between the covers of a book. It is filled with comedy, compassion and tenderness.
