Synopsis SET in a New York City hospital, Wrong Turn at Lungfish is the story of Peter Ravenswaal, a blind, bitter and widowed college professor, and his encounter with Anita, a saucy, street wise young woman who volunteers to read to him in the hospital. He's irascible and ill-mannered, she's uneducated but resilient; she's a superstitious Catholic, he's a supercilious Protestant. Written by : Garry Marshall & Lowell Ganz Reviews "Humongous laughs! Great fun" ~ ABC TV
He's a widower facing death alone, she's the mistreated lover of a low-rent mob enforcer named Dominic. By the end of the play, the clash of intellect and wit takes the two from animosity and fear to friendship and understanding.
By the way, "lungfish" refers to a primitive fish species, representing a metaphor for a point in evolution where humans could have taken a different path, potentially without developing such complex brains.
