This hilarious new farce from the authors of Love, Sex and the I.R.S. have certainly come up with a novel setting: the play takes place in the bathroom in a home during a party, a handy place for gossip and hanky panky, where we learn of the wild and crazy things going on at the party. The authors have ingeniously contrived this play so that we feel that, if we had gone to this party we, too, might have spent most of our time hiding out in the bathroom!</span></div><div style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 130%;" style=""> </span></div><h2 style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 130%;" style="">Character Breakdown </span></h2><div style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 130%;" style="">** The age range for each character is very flexible (18-50). These are normal people at a work related party. The only character that needs to be of a certain age is "The Old Man" for obvious reasons, but just needs to look to be Peg's father. Below is a brief character description for each.</span></div><div style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 130%;" style="">This entire show takes place in a bathroom. The actors must show truth, have a great sense of comic timing as well as physical comedy.</span></div><div style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 130%;" style=""> </span></div><div style=""><strong style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 130%;" style="">WOMEN</span></strong></div><div style=""><span mce_style="font-size: 130%;" style=""><strong style="">Laura:</strong> Is having an affair with Sandy who works for her husband Arthur.
