The play that asks the question: Can an ambitious young scammer find happiness and a literary career on the Internet?

Freddy, a young internet scammer with dreams of an artistic career, is striking out in the world of email fraud. All his potential victims turn out to be pranksters. Under pressure from his thuggish boss to score, Freddy takes increasing risks and must finally decide what kind of man he will be. Meanwhile, as they concoct ever more humiliating surprises for Freddy, his tormenters begin to feel a bond with each other - but if they met in the flesh, could they stand each other? or can they only be friends in Scamoramaland?

Post-script:
It went well, and the talk-back was useful and encouraging.
While all turned in fine performances (without much time to prepare), it's fair to say that the story hinges on a strong 'Freddy'.
James Udom, winner of the 2012 Irene Ryan award for acting, brought Freddy to life. Scott Baker  turned in a hilarious yet touching Tom.
Thanks to  P.U.S. Theater and to all for their time, effort and talent.

Plus, Dr. Dan poured mead. It isn't beer, it isn't wine... it's mead!
