In this delightfully absurd farce, Archie and Eudora take the phrase “all the world’s a stage” far too seriously. Every night, they perform their private lives before a live studio audience. The problem is their dinner guests have no idea there will be a live audience.

What follows is a slow-motion collision between polite society and total theatrical anarchy. As the guests realize they are unwilling cast members in someone else’s show, manners collapse, reality wobbles, and chaos takes the wheel.

Along the way, the play tackles life’s great philosophical questions: Can people be good if no one is watching? Are comets divine messages or simple celestial physics? And, most urgently, is it ever acceptable to serve pistachios at a dinner party?

The madness builds to a second act so spectacularly unhinged it may qualify as a minor theatrical event.
