Have a heart / David Sherman.

69 p. ; 21 cm.

A play.

Gerry is a hyperactive Jewish button importer living in a suburb of Montreal. His father Solly has been "dumped" in an old folk's home, something he refuses to let his son forget. Gerry's daughter Sarah is an adherent to Buddhism. Though he feels fine, the medical establishment tells him there's something wrong with his heart and are talking bypass. In between bouncing from waiting room to waiting room, Gerry decides he needs to finish the extravagant porch he's building which, if worst comes to worst, will be his legacy. Or a place to retire to once doctors have turned his brain to broccoli, or his daughter and father have driven him nuts. Luckily, there's Linda, his long-suffering wife who tries to keep Gerry in line and referee the family slugfests. Eventually, the family discovers healing comes in many forms.
