THE STORY: Betty is looking forward to her summer share at the ocean. But Trudy, whom she knows only slightly, chatters incessantly; and then there are the other housemates - sexy lout Buck, who's pathologically on the make with women all the time, and sweet, withdrawn Keith who carries a shovel and a mysterious hatbox and just may be a serial killer. Then the emotionally anarchic landlady, Mrs. Siezmagraff, moves in too; and she invites a crazy derelict to dinner, and, well, the vacation becomes more and more of a strain for poor Betty. Not to mention there seems to be a laugh track coming from the ceiling that no one seems able to shut up. Death, destruction, mayhem - Betty finds it all in her seaside retreat.

"Incest, dismemberment, and a laugh track as a Greek chorus…theater, praise be, can still go where other forms of art cannot…an ecstatically angry new comedy…relentlessly fierce, relentlessly funny…" - NY Times. "This is a sweet night that has little to offend any but the thinnest skinned among us." - NY Newsday. "…the funniest new farce in years…the play lifts off from the ground of brilliantly naturalistic comedy into the stratosphere of zany satire…by far Durang's best." - NY Post.
