A comedy farce involving 2 roommates who try
to fool the IRS into believing they have been married for 3 years. The catch is
they are both guys and that’s okay until the IRS
decides to check up on them. With a little make-up and pretty dresses, they
attempt to create the illusion--add a couple of other twists and you have a
very funny physical comedy!
Here is a wild farce with twists of fate, sight gags, mistaken
identities and hilarious comic lines. Jon Trachtman
and Leslie Arthur are out of work musicians who room together in New York City.
To save money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing the pair as a married.
The day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service informs the
"couple" they are going to be investigated
by a Mr. Spinner. Leslie masquerades as a housewife,
aided by Jon's fiancee, Kate. Complicating matters
further Leslie and Kate are having an affair behind Jon's back, Jon's mother
drops in unexpectedly to meet her son's fiancee, and
Leslie's ex girlfriend shows up demanding to know why Leslie has changed and
won't see her anymore. The premiere was at New Jersey's Dam Site Dinner
Theatre. "Enough comic lines to fill an encyclopedia of
humor." Red Bank Register. The Asbury Park
Press warned the diner to eat carefully before curtain time or "he might
laugh enough to choke if he does not."
