Synopsis

On a beautiful Sunday morning in mid-October three housemates decide to have scotch for breakfast in this play by the author of Spike Heels and Loose Knit.

Elly is pregnant and considering an abortion Jen is being harassed by a co-worker who is obsessed with her and Gayle just feels a bit lost.

Their problems are compounded by a fourth roommate Jessica a religious young woman who has little compassion for their confused attempts to make sense of life in the nineties.

As they drink joke and argue it becomes clear how difficult it is to make a moral decision in an increasingly complex world.

— The Boston Globe

"Goes down as smoothly and hits as hard as a gulp of good bourbon."

— South End News
