The synopsis of the play is as follows:
Set in York, Pennsylvania in 1958, this farce centers on two  down-on-their-luck Shakespearean actors, Leo Clark and Jack Gable. The pair  discover through a newspaper that Florence, an older ailing woman, has been  unable to find Max and Steve, her sister's children who moved away to England as  children in order to include them in her multi-million dollar inheritance. They  decide to pose as Max and Steve to claim portions of it. When they discover that  "Max" and "Steve" are actually "Maxine" and "Stephanie," they continue on,  undaunted, in drag. Leo falls for Florence's actual niece Meg, while Jack swoons  over Florence's part-time aide Audrey. Florence recovers just as the pair  arrives, but they decide to keep on, both to try to outlast her health and to  stay close to the objects of their interest. Leo convinces Meg, who is enamored  of Shakespeare and a fan of Jack and Leo, to put on a production at Florence's  estate, to give himself more of an opportunity to be with her, both as Leo and  Maxine. Meanwhile, Meg's fiance Duncan grows increasingly suspicious of the  "Leading Ladies."
