As the curtain rises, Sarah Jane and Glen are packing to move out of their New York apartment. The living room is cluttered with suitcases, numerous packing boxes, and an unbelievable mass of sporting equipment. Only when Glen (now a successful photographer) inherits his grandfather's farm and decides that they are going to move back to the Piney Woods does Sarah Jane fully realize that their marriage has been his marriage. Somehow Sarah Jane has become less and less a wife and more and more a little brother. That is why Glen calls her Bubba. Bubba likes the city and doesn't want to leave.

"The author's situations progress with exceptional naturalness and ease out of a highly believable but unusual situation and his characters generate their own witty and runningly humorous exchanges," wrote Ann Holmes of the Houston Chronicle about a Houston production. She called it a "thoroughly engaging show" and "excellent entertainment."

While this inventive, skillfully written play has undertones of freedom and equality for women, it also argues a case in favor of the feminine role of women. But mostly it is a new look at the meaning of love and marriage.

Successfully produced by the Barter Theatre, Abingdon, Va.; the High Tor Theatre, Fitchburg, Mass.; university theatres, and community theatres. "Our group produced Bubba as a dinner-theatre in the round at the Brooke County Museum...This summer in our barn theatre we are producing Bubba again, this time with a full set on the proscenium stage."—Sharon M. Harper, Brooke County Arts Council, Wellsburg, W. Va. From a reveiw of the Barter Theatre production; "It has some funny lines, some interesting characters. And it might help your marriage."
