Synopsis

At first glance, this is a typical family comedy: teenage James and girlfriend Karen try to make out one afternoon, only to face repeated interruptions by other members of James‘ family.

But the ultimate interruption comes when a cell phone goes off in the audience, breaking the “fourth wall” so that James can see the spectators.

As James tries to convince his increasingly worried family that a wall is missing from their house, and that people are watching them, the play takes more left turns than Bugs Bunny should have taken at Albuquerque – until it reaches a happy (if twisted) ending.
