CHARLES GLUCK (Playwright) Born into a family of drama and laughter, young Charles Arthur aspired to a life in the theatre. However, each night while he slept, his traditional Jewish parents whispered in his ear: "Be a doctor. Be a doctor. Be a doctor." So, for 30 years, Dr. Gluck practiced Gastroenterology while performing stand-up comedy on the side. Now retired, Dr. Chuck A Gluck has returned to his calling and hopes that you enjoy watching Our Brother's Son nearly as much as he did writing it.
