Lauded by Peter Marks of The New York Times as "powerfully unsettling...an enormously moving play," Side Man is the comic and tender story of Clifford, a young man who looks back on his family life; prior to leaving home, Clifford reconciles the role that he has long played as parent to his parents. Smoothly gliding between present and past, the play tells the story of a time before the Beatles and Elvis, when jazzmen were heroic like ballplayers and there was no shortage of Saturday-night gigs. Side Man is both a tribute to the men whose lives were their music and a sober look at a family drama left in the wake of that passion.Warren Leight is the author of 'Side Man - Acting Edition', published 2000 under ISBN 9780822217213 and ISBN 082221721X.
