When their friendship begins to take on more amorous overtones, Mrs. Pennington-South is plunged into a state of emotional turmoil. But when Cuthbert returns with his new female companion, the reality of having to face her son's new lifestyle sends her reeling. Nothing, however, could have prepared her for what would come next.Suburban Redux is the full-length play version of the award-winning, critically acclaimed one-act comedy Cuthbert's Last Stand.
