Reduced Casting (Doubling Possible) Interior Set Comedy

Synopsis

The Manhattan Theatre Club had a hit with this off beat comedy about a contemporary immigrant couple from Poland who are having a hard time in their strange new country.

Anka, a well known actress in Warsaw, can't get work because of her accent; Jan, a writer, is struggling with writer's block.

As they try to get some sleep, flash backs bring characters from their past crawling from beneath the bed.
