(Connelly Theatre, 220 East 4th Street, New York, NY, 10009)(See website for schedule)
Think "Will & Grace" meets "The Proposal"
They say love is the universal language. So, why are
so many people having problems communicating?
In an age where who one is allowed to love is
constantly being debated, this heartwarming farce
reminds us of the lengths we go to for the ones we
love. Matt and Phil are gay and bi...Bi-National that
is! Matt hails all the way from Finland, and together
they live with a straight couple, Phil’s lifelong best
friend, Molly, and her Dominican boyfriend. As state
laws start passing gay marriage, newlywed gay
couples still do not have equal rights, and Phil faces
the possibility of losing the love his life to
deportation...Not if Molly can help it! Molly decides
to marry her best friend’s Finnish boyfriend to keep
their little "family" together. On the eve of Matt and
Phil’s six-year anniversary, an immigration officer
unexpectedly arrives in order to test the
truthfulness of Molly and Matt’s marriage.
Together, they need to convince the immigration
officer of their hetero-love so that they can lay low
long enough to get Matt's green card. As things
start to look promising, Molly and Matt, along with
a stranded taxi driver, are all stuck together to wait
out an unexpected blizzard. Wires, relationships,
and languages all get crossed in this funny physical
comedy that leaves everyone involved finding,
fighting, and falling (literally) for the ones they love.
With a few too many drinks down the hatch, it's
going to become harder and harder to keep things
straight. It's a kiki that won't soon be forgotten!
