Harold and Maude - The play!
What can happen when young Harold meets a stranger at a funeral, Maude, who turns 80 in a few days? What might happen at the Chemistry Lab in an experiment Harold is conducting? What is Mrs. Chasen's big problem? How many suicides has Harold staged and what does his curious collection contain? What are Harold and Maude doing in the woods? What did the Buddha do with the two architects and the white bull? What did Harold see written on Maude's hand? What birds did Captain Dreyfus describe when he was imprisoned on Devil's Island? How long does it take a distant star to send its light to earth? How long does it take nature to make a bird's wing? What was Harold's answer to the MATRIMO FLASH company's 50 questions? What can Maude's olfactory creation do? What is Harold's gift to Maude and what is Maude's gift to Harold? What phrase was on the head of Wisdom's brooch from Persia? What does Inspector Bernard ask of Maude? Why is he pursuing her? What will happen when Harold meets the MATRIMO FLASH girls? What will happen when Mrs Chasen meets Maude?
