- W2041190060 abstract "I begin autobiographically, with a story and an artifact of handmade literacy. Many years ago, I performed in my senior class play at Rutherford High School, in New Jersey. The play was Eugene O’Neill’s Ah, Wilderness!, his idealized portrait of family life. The tragedian O’Neill called it wishful thinking about the childhood he would have liked to have had. He subtitled it “A nostalgic comedy of the Ancient Days when Youth was Young, and Right was Right, and life was a wicked opportunity.” The cast and crew were exuberant, enjoying the camaraderie that develops in high-school theatre. I played Aunt Lily, a prim spinster who pines for Sid, the charming but alcoholic uncle. (It was O’Neill, after all!) As the performance nights neared, the nostalgic mood of the play itself, and our impending graduation, infected me, and I decided to give presents to all the cast and crew. I turned to what I did best, then and now—I wrote a parody. My magnum opus, entitled “Nat and Essie and Sid and Lilly: Or, As the Pleasant Beach House Turns,” by “Eujill O’Kedersha,” was a retelling of the play by way of our production—every cast joke, innuendo, backstage romance, and tic and nagging of our director and technical director were included. I ran off copies for everyone on the ditto machine in the teachers’ room. At the after-play party, I presented my gift. Cast and crew fell upon it, and their raucous group reading of the parody was my reward, their gift back to me. I have written many parodies since “Nat and Essie and Sid and Lilly,” certainly because of it, but none that so completely captures and recreates for me a particular moment of writing and performance, a time and place and space. This parody, presented and performed for an emotional occasion, recalls a formative moment in my own literate life, a moment of handmade literacy that represents my adolescent identity and self." @default.
