Synopsis

A sophisticated, contemporary comedy about a single woman in her fifties who plans a romantic retreat to France, but is thwarted when her three grown daughters boomerang home unexpectedly, with their partners and agendas in tow. "Neipris gives us real characters in this gently funny play, consistently amusing without being stuffed with one-liners." -Tucson Weekly "In the play's often hilarious dialogue, tinged with the harsh bite of reality, one daughter reminds us, 'Home is that place where, when you go there, they have to take you in.' In today's society of overachievers, everybody is determined to keep moving up. Nobody wants a home with roots. Like sharks, we have to keep moving just to stay alive." -Tucson Citizen "You won't forget that you laughed. Plenty ... And if you are among the 22 million with grown kids at home, Lord knows you could use something to laugh about." -Arizona Star
