Saturday, Late in the Twentieth Century

1990
William Morelock
Laura Mace Riddle is a beautiful media magnet who understands the media she controls. Ruthless, mad for power and with a fondness for clothes, cars, and private wine cellars, Laura also has ideas. And that's why the ingenious and sly Jenkins ("Jinx") Potter, in love with her since the age of thirteen, agrees to create and host a radio program, "Saturday, Late in the Twentieth Century." It is, of course, to be a vehicle for her enterprises, which are the show's sponsors... This is only the surface of Morelock's sharp and witty play. Add a framework of ideas by Marshall McLuhan, Walter Percy, and Glenn Gould. Fill in with music, sounds, and a host of characters living and dead. And there you are: "Saturday, Late in the Twentieth Century," a radio show celebrating the possible. Commissioned by New American Radio.
