Show Synopsis:
This hilarious play pits a father-in-law against a mother in a comedic succession of squabbles. Jerry Sloan is a successful writer of advertising jingles married to an equally successful lawyer. Living with the happy couple is a not so happy Abe Dreyfus, Jerry’s curmudgeon of a father-in-law. The situation is exacerbated when Jerry’s mother Mildred loses her house in a fire and needs a place to stay. Abe and Mildred can’t stand each other. The play progresses with one confrontation after another until the heart-warming finale. --Samuel French
