Greater Tuna is the first in a trilogy of comedic plays set in the
fictional town of Tuna, Texas, the "third smallest" town in the state.
Through a series of 20 eccentric characters of both genders, various
ages and unique types it offers an affectionate comment on small-town,
Southern life and attitudes but with a withering satirical nod.
Now, after being restricted from local theaters in the Washington DC
area since it first appeared 25 years ago, this hilarious, off-beat
comedy is finally coming to the Elden Street Players.
