There's no accounting for poor manners - Gate House

Document text

Playwright and screenwriter Jeffrey Hatcher conjures up the world of a 10-year-old boy and his etiquette lessons taught by a comically formidable and enigmatic instructor at her School of Manners in Steubenville, Ohio. Set in 1967, Hatcher's laugh-out-loud, semi-autobiographical story introduces us to his classmates, parents, grandfather and his demanding teacher that everyone calls Mrs. Mannerly.
