Prim and proper Juliet Rose Astor Lowell doesn`t want her body guarded by anyone while she`s in New Orleans for the grand opening of Daddy`s new hotel - especially not by consummate macho cop Beau Dupree.

His shameless, hungry-eyed gaze shakes her carefully cultivated decorum like no one ever has, but Juliet is a Lowell - and there`s no way she`s going to lose control!

In 1944, long before he wrote such classic novels as I Am Legend and What Dreams May Come, author Richard Matheson served as an eighteen-year-old replacement in the 87th Division during the latter part of the war in Europe.

Under fire and in over their heads, the fresh-faced young men must grow up fast if they ever hope to see home again.

Beat Generation is a play about tension, about friendship, and about karma - what it is and how you get it. It begins one fine morning with a few friends, honest laborers some of them, some close to being down-and-out, passing around a bottle of wine. It ends with a kind of satori-like reaffirmation of the power of friendship, of doing good through not doing, and the intrinsic worth of the throw-away little exchanges that make up our lives. Written in 1957, the same year that On the Road was first published, and set in 1953, Beat Generation portrays an authentic and alternate 1950s America. Kerouac`s characters are working-class men and women - a step away from vagrants, but not a big step. Their dialogue positively sings, suggesting...
