Private Property

A Play by William Ivor Fowkes

It’s nobody’s business.

 

Gregory South, a retired interior decorator; his wealthy partner, Samuel Becker; their long-suffering housekeeper, Birdy Bock; and everyone’s special friend, Joe, have been living together in the woods of northeastern Pennsylvania, where they have amassed a curious collection of houses, each decorated in a different style. But when an inquisitive reporter comes snooping around, more than just their privacy is threatened.
