Synopsis

Congressman Dan Ferris is being questioned about the disappearance of intern Ilona Waxman.

Sound awkward?

Imagine if he was your dad.

When Congressman Ferris's response puts his children in an even more awkward position, they search for the truth by improvising a drama of loyalty, seduction, and betrayal.

Until Monica Lewinsky interrupts...

Press Reviews

"A genuine thrill ride. As dizzying as a Nabokov-written episode of The West Wing."

— The New York Sun

"Handel intelligently weaves together the threads of the story, and the characters shift voices and perspectives with little or no advanced warning...This lends much of the dialogue a witty, unpredictable texture..."

— talkinbroadway.com

"A cynical black comedy that's bathed in a kind of playfulness."

— Denver Post
