"The Loud Red Patrick" is a laughter filled, thought-provoking
comedy centered around Patrick Flannagan, a widower with four daughters.
The year is 1912 and the place is Cleveland, Ohio. Patrick is a passionate
Irishman committed to women's rights, a most unusual reality in Cleveland, Ohio,
in 1912, or anywhere for that matter in 1912.
His daughters have been raised by Patrick to focus on their
education, go to college, and make a difference in this world. All goes
smoothly until his oldest daughter, who happens to be a lot like Patrick, has
her own ideas about her future. Patrick tries mightily to deal with his
daughters ages 17, 16, 10, and 7 and they with him.
Add into this mix one charming former song and dance Irishman,
one housekeeper who checks with her medium regularly, and one passionate 21 year
old suitor whose father runs the local gas company, a company Patrick hates; a
company which is holding back the progress of Cleveland, Ohio, by not permitting
the installation of Mr. Edison's magnificent invention, electricity, into
Cleveland, Ohio.
The result is "The Loud Red Patrick".
