Romance, directed by Sean Derry, is an outrageous courtroom farce which roasts the American legal system and reveals the hypocrisy surrounding personal prejudices and political correctness. Wildly hilarious, the play is set in a courtroom in New York City. It's allergy season, and the judge (Ralph Cooley) is popping antihistamines like candy, constantly forgetting whether he's taken them or not. He listens to the case of a Jewish chiropractor (Scott Shriner), who's "a liar", according to his anti-Semitic defense attorney (Tony Weaver). The homosexual prosecutor (Richard Worswick) is having a domestic squabble with his lover (Ryan McMullen), who makes an appearance in court in a leopard-print thong. Outside the walls of the courtroom, a Middle East peace summit is taking place. The court case is completely unrelated, but the defendant and counsel come up with a plan to solve the conflict in the region.
