Synopsis

It’s a faraway age of hope and inclusivity; in other words, it’s 2015.

When a tight-knit circle of married gays and lesbians – comfy in the new mainstream – see themselves through the eyes of their rakish transgender pal, it’s clear that the march toward progress is anything but unified.

With stinging satire and acute compassion, Jordan Harrison’s pointed comedy charts the breakdown of empathy that happens when we think our rights are secure, revealing conservative hearts where you’d least expect.

Press Reviews

"A hot-button comedy... Looking at what happens when the rainbow turns on itself... marginally less homogeneous than the traditional gay play."
— The New York Times

"Examines our impulse to slam the door behind us just as we cross the threshold of privilege."
— TheatreMania

"An audacious piece of theatre... [Harrison] knows how to explode the theatre not only with one-liners but with the delayed retort that hits the bulls-eye without the target ever knowing it."
— The Wrap

"Harrison further tests the incredulity inspired by the phrase ‘log cabin’ with plot twists that range from absurd to biologically inconceivable."
— Towleroad
