WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Oldsmobiles, a World Premiere one-act by political pundit Roger Rosenblatt will open in early October. Previously, The Flea produced the World Premiere of Rosenblatt's Ashley Montana Goes Ashore in the Caicos... starring Bebe Neuwirth and Jeffrey DeMunn.
Perched on top of the Manhattan Bridge, Mr. and Mrs. Oldsmobile, a couple who are aging but not yet old, who are still in great shape contemplate what's left to come and if it is worth living for.

Although there are several exchanges during which they call each other "stupid" and although they each claim they've partnered the wrong person, Rosenblatt makes it obvious they love one another.
