A gay man and his straight father support and cajole each other in this comic and tender examination of the ties that bind. Harry Mitchell is a middle-aged widower searching for love - and so is his son, Jeff. But can Jeff's new boyfriend and Harry's new girlfriend accept this unusual father-and-son relationship? Smart, witty and thoughtful! Winner of the 1991 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Play.
