Bernard Slade created a sparkling romantic comedy with a huge heart when he wrote Tribute, a father and son story of incredible warmth and humor. The play is about a father searching for a son, a son's acceptance of his father and a man who's everyone's friend and nobody's hero. The plot focuses on Scottie Templeton, a charming, popular personality who has spent his life shirking responsibility as he tap dances through life. When he discovers he is terminally ill, he attempts to reconnect with his long-estranged son.
