Lemon Meringue Façade

About the Book

Bite into a piece of lemon meringue pie and what do you taste? Is it tart or is it sweet? Lemon Meringue Façade, a comedy by Ted Lange, takes you through this tongue tingling taste test. Do blondes really have more fun? No longer will only their hairdressers know for sure – as these blondes from the nineties bake up a delightful pie full of laughs for you to digest. Squeeze the juice out of four lemons – Susan, the writer, Annie, the athlete, Phyllis, the actress, and Linda, the mom-to-be-at-any second, and you have the main ingredients of a riotous filling. Add Laura, an upper crust Pasadena housewife, and a dash of Robert, the loving father-to-be, and you start to taste the tart and the sweet. The recipe just needs a pinch of Richard, the secret ingredient, and the façade is whipped to stiff peaks of humor and fun. Their candid and witty conversations give you a taste of the world of a blonde. They’re not white bread, they’re Lemon Meringue!
