Constant Sorrow

By Bernard Mendillo

A comedy about a man who's never had one complete day of happiness in his life. Robert Bike maintains that he's never had one day where he's been happy from the moment he wakes up until the moment he goes to sleep. At some point-in each and every day of his life-something happens to make him sad. And so, on a very long day when he and his two children meet to clean out his parents' home, he relives his past-sees his future-and learns to accept the present. As the story unfolds, Robert, Franny and Aaron slip into other personas-and their lives play out before them. It's the things we do-it's the things we keep. That's what Robert learns-that's what Robert passes on to Franny and Aaron. Oh-and there are the small matters of the best pizza in the world-running for political office-playing baseball-finding love-writing plays-becoming successful-and-perhaps-launching the Raider II-a rocket gizmo from Robert's youth that needs a couple of cans, a firecracker and a leap of faith to make it fly.
