Philadelphia playwright Douglas Williams has a ready-made pitch, an elevator speech, when someone asks him to describe his play Ship. “It’s about a guy who tries and fails to grow the longest fingernails in the world,” he’ll say.
Of course, there’s more to the story, Williams told gohomephillyblog.com. “That’s not the most accurate description because he isn’t the main character in the play. But it kind of gives people an idea of the humor and the odd tragedies that I think exist in the play.”
