| 1 | ''Fuddy Meers'' is a play written by Creator/DavidLindsayAbaire chronicling a very special day of an amnesiac named Claire Fiffle who forgets the events of a day when she goes to sleep and wakes up on the next. This particular day, she wakes up being taken away by a man in a ski mask who brings her to her mother's house. From there, secrets are revealed in an over-the-top farce. |

| 4 | !!This play contains examples of: |
| 5 | |
| 6 | * BittersweetEnding: By the end of the play Claire remembers all that happened before her condition [[spoiler:until she falls asleep in the car at the very end.]] |
| 7 | * CirclingBirdies: Kenny mentions having cartoon birdies flying around his head when recalling abuse by his father, adding a small bit of levity to an otherwise serious scene. |
| 8 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: The condition that Claire has, wiping her memory clean every day. Interestingly enough, she can recall distant memories easily with a little help. |
| 9 | * NeverMessWithGranny: For a stroke victim who's well into her sixties, Gertie can hold her own pretty well. She fights off two escaped convicts with ease, and even manages to non-fatally stab one of them. She also has what may be the foulest mouth of any of the characters, but her aphasia manages to censor out any actual swear words. |
| 10 | * SpeechImpediment: |
| 11 | ** Limping Man speaks with the classic lisp. |
| 12 | ** Gertie's words come out oddly due to her aphasia (she provides the title "Funny Mirrors"). |
