by David Lindsay-Abaire
directed by John Elliott
Performances: Oct. 19, 20, 26, 27, 28(m), Nov. 1, 2, 3, 2007
When Cass discovers a shocking secret about her husband, she flees to the honeymoon capital of the world search of the life she thinks she missed out on. A wild ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs.
“Full frontal lunacy is on display. A most assuredly fresh and hilarious tragicomedy of marital discord run amok. Lindsay-Abaire’s flair for the absurd combines nicely with an ability to pull laughs out of any situation. Absolutely hysterical.”—Variety.
“People in psychic pain have never agonized so hilariously as in David Lindsay-Abaire’s revved-up, joyously zany play.” —The Washington Post.
