MARMALADE marks its author...as a name to watch in the future." -LA Times (Titus). "...slyly amusing, envelope-pushing...Haidle has the courage of his convictions, which he has demonstrated in a mature and accomplished play...extraordinary..." -L. A. Times (Miller).

THE STORY: Lucy is a four-year-old girl with a very active imagination. Unfortunately, her imaginary friend Mr. Marmalade doesn't have much time for her. Not to mention he beats up his personal assistant, has a cocaine addic-tion, and a penchant for pornography and very long dildos. Larry, her only real friend, is the youngest suicide attempt in the history of New Jersey. MR. MARMALADE is a savage black comedy about what it takes to grow up in these difficult times.
