“The Prisoner of Second Avenue”
The Prisoner of Second Avenue is the story of Mel and Edna Edison,
a typical husband and wife from the 1970s. Mel loses his job and eventually has
a mental breakdown due to his feeling useless. Edna then goes back to work to
support them, making Mel feel even worse about the entire situation. The play
has a happy ending, but the moral of the story is that the pressures of being in
the rat race can eventually drive you nuts .
