AMERICAN COFFEE: A working-class couple plots to drug their gay son and his lover to keep them from attending their daughter's wedding. THE SHANGRI-LA MOTOR INN: The newlyweds are ensconced in the Shangri-La Motor Inn for their wedding night. While the groom is anticipating the evening ahead, the bride is discussing the annulment of her not-yet-consummated marriage with the gay motel clerk. \"Rich comic cadences ... Bumbalo is a funny guy.\" -Marilyn Stasio, New York Post \"Funny ... Lively ... Bumbalo demonstrates a healthy satiric wit, aimed at both straights and gays, and a lively sense of comic dialogue.\" -Bernard Weiner, San Francisco Chronicle \"NIAGARA FALLS dares to tread in delicate areas ... Bumbalo scores some sharp character comedy ... the play's overall treatment of a situation and a rejected social class who receive little 'gay' treatment is most welcomed.\" -Nicholas de Jongh, The Guardian (London) \"Funny and incisive.\" -Rob Baker, Daily News \"Bumbalo must have secretly taped parents across the country. He outdoes Neil Simon ... It is a finely written work.\" -John Kerr, Bay Area Reporter \"A maximum of both humor and pathos ... I could have cheered.\" -James M Saslow, The Advocate \"There is a basic humanity here that one finds in very few plays.\" -Michael Bronski, Gay Community News \"NIAGARA FALLS is a tender, canny, and frequently hilarious comedy.\" -Alan Stern, The Boston Phoenix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victor Bumbalo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 088145365X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881453652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadway Play Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.17d","brand":"Victor Bumbalo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47072028885247,"sku":"9780881453652","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48ba69ea-afde-4ee8-bd23-f750bad71f22.jpg?v=1753415598","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/niagara-falls-victor-bumbalo-9780881453652","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
