The neurotic Bruce is a manic bi-sexual who meets the unstable writer Prudence through a personal advert. The date is a total disaster! A week later, they meet again by chance at the very same restaurant. Prudence has reacted to a new and exiting advert – and the author is Bruce who subsequently invites her home for dinner. His room-mate and former lover Bob becomes insanely jealous of Prudence, who additionally is involved in a sexual relationship with the lusty therapist Stuart. Furthermore, Bruce’s therapist Charlotte is possibly more disturbed than all her patients together. Add an extremely overprotective mother and a very special waiter and the result is a completely astray comedy about love, life and “happy endings”. ”[…] there's certainly a considerable amount to be found in Durang's script, which seems simultaneously rooted in reality and a twisted, fractured, fantasy world where anything can happen, and probably will at some point. This results in a character-rich script replete with opportunities for six performers to give unique, colorful, and memorable portrayals.” – Talking Broadway
