THE STORY: A frame shop in a southern New England town is the setting for this tragicomedy in which a dying man toils ceaselessly in order to leave his once-abused wife some postmortem financial security. He unwittingly experiences the emotional and physical brutality of his past, motivating him to sincerely atone for his sins - but his plan to repent is sidetracked by his high-strung loser brother-in-law.

"Baker deals with mortality and tragic influences by creating characters that are brutally honest, fascinatingly quirky, and jaded enough to find humor in almost anything." - ELJNYC.com. "There is an exuberant creativity in Edward Allan Baker's THE FRAMER" - TheaterMania.com. "Baker, with a talent for good old-fashioned storytelling and a flair for robust humor, turns it all into some two hours of totally arresting theatreentertaining, seething stew of a domestic drama." - BackStage.
