Merle Good’s Play Former lititz resident and well known local playwright Merle Good has chosen to illuminate, in his 9th play, a subject “hotter than war; even more controversial than sex,” in the words of the author. The play, “Today Pop Goes Home,” has been presented on stage throughout August at the Dutch Family Festival, Route 30, six miles east of Lancaster. The final run ends this Saturday (August 30). Delving into an entirely modern dilemma. Good seeks to solve the problem “faced by many of today’s families: whether to keep and care for aged parents at home in spite of the hard ships inflicted on a young family, or to demand the family’s right to exist without the added financial and psychological burden on the individual family members. Merle Good’s sensitivities and talents are evident in his choice of subjects. The play is a work of magnificent potential even if, at times, it seems to fall short of realizing that potential. Because of this marked sense of something missing, the play lacks resolution; it’s as if one were waiting for something to happen, and it never does. But as a play designed for pure dramatic enjoyment, “Today Pop Goes Home,’' is a prime example of the Merle Good talent for story telling via characterization. Try A Classified Ad It Pays!
