Synopsis

Joel, a neurotic, down-on-his-heels actor/playwright, is opening his new adaptation of an obscure Euripides comedy in a smelly former sausage factory in Brooklyn.

Unknown to him, there's a big-time Hollywood casting director in the house, as well as his crazy mother (who's also his agent) and his crazy aunt (who's really his mother).

When one of the actors takes sleeping pills and passes out mid-performance, and the leading lady quits, Joel's relatives leap over the footlights to rescue the show.

Realities collide, and his family's wild stories out-Greek the script, in a horrifically hilarious night of truth-telling.

Just two actors can play all of the outlandish characters in this stripped-down, high-octane farce.
