Author: Mike Folie
Synopsis: Four actors play twenty-seven different roles to create a kaleidoscopic burlesque about men, women and the eternal communication problems that keep them in conflict. Stories range from a DEA officer busting the guy who once stood her up at the senior prom, to a pair of squabbling male and female genitalia, to an aging movie star ambushing her ex-husband at the airport, to a frustrated art director trying to explain to his wife why he must leave her and their kids "for art." Absurdly hilarious, poignant, and often bittersweet; it all ties together with monologues and short scenes that add punch and keep things moving. The perfect "date night play,” Naked Mole Rats will delight adult audiences of all ages.
Cast Size: 2 Males, 2 Female
