Synopsis
A laugh-out-loud hilarious comedy. The domestic tranquility of a married couple who are New York art dealers is shattered upon the arrival of the wife’s goody-goody nerd of a sister, her uptight CPA husband and her archetypal Jewish mother. The comic sparks really begin to fly when the mother hits it off with the elderly minimalist artist who is one of the couple’s best clients.
“The play is a hoot, and better yet, a sophisticated, even civilized hoot.”-NY Post
