MIDWEST PREMIERE
RASAKA THEATRE
Sept. 17 - Oct. 11, 2015
★★★☆! “...sure-footed staging under Kaiser Ahmed's direction...even though there are some undeniably shaggy components to Shenoy's comedy, it largely succeeds on its own sunny terms.”
-- Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune
“highly entertaining”
-- Highly Recommended, Loy Webb, Newcity Chicago
A hilarious new farce from playwright Nandita Shenoy that throws a modern, multicultural marriage into the pressure cooker of tight New York City living. When Indian-American Sonya elopes with Chinese-American Michael, she thinks she has finally found her happily-ever-after, and possibly even fulfilled her grandmother’s wish for marriage. But when Michael discovers that Sonya’s apartment is “Single Occupancy Only,” and a colorful cast of nosy neighbors and relatives show up to complicate matters further, the couple is forced to re-evaluate their dirty laundry and decide whether all is really fair in love and real estate
