A new comedy by Daniel Jenkins & Robert Stanton.
2 Actors. 26 Characters. 6 Chairs.
Joel, a neurotic, down-on-his-heels actor/playwright, is opening his new adaptation of an obscure Euripides comedy in a smelly former sausage factory in Brooklyn. Unknown to him, there's a big-time Hollywood casting director in the house, as well as his crazy mother (who's also his agent) and his crazy aunt (who's really his mother). When one of the actors takes sleeping pills and passes out mid-performance, and the leading lady quits, Joel's relatives leap over the footlights to rescue the show. Realities collide, and his family's wild stories out-Greek the script, in a horrifically hilarious night of truth-telling.
“Rollicking! Delicious! Half the fun is seeing if you can keep up . . . !”

“They effortlessly slip into and out of an astonishing array of genders, ages, and ethnicities, without ever losing sight of the mechanics of their convoluted stardust story.”
