    Description

    TRIBUTE
    by Bernard Slade
    TRIBUTE, said John Simon in
    NEW YORK MAGAZINE, "
    is a play that takes the sting out of adultery, divorce, prostitution, failure in business, non-achievement of artistic aspirations, family infighting, and, best of all, death itself!"
    Scottie Templeton--former screenwriter, occasional PR man--is dying.  Scottie has done a little bit of everything in his life, but the only thing he's really been successful at is making friends.  For Scottie is a charmer.  At 52, he's one of those perennial Peter Pans who, says his boss, Lou, "dances into our lives and reminds us of our lost childhood."
    The only person Scottie is a failure with is his son, Jud, an uptight young man who has never forgiven his father for botching up in marriage, paternity and career.  Scottie, however, is determined to win his son's love, and sets about it in his own inimitable way.
    TRIBUTE is about a father searching for a son, a son's final acceptance of his father, and a man described by
    NEW YORK POST
    critic Clive Barnes as "the archetypal 20th-century joker . . . everyone's friend, nobody's hero.
