ATTACK OF THE WINDMILLS
by Nick Page
It is the story of DAVID, an emotionally wounded young man engaged to marry LIBBA, a member of a family of performers who use every form of hilarity and pathos to make DAVID exit his shell. In the end, though, it is the wisdom of LIBBA’s great uncle and the innocence of her baby sister that finally free DAVID of the secret that silenced him in his youth.
