Maggie and Brandon are about to become
parents- they're just waiting for a phone call. The birth mother
of their adopted child is due sometime Christmas week, so they won't be
traveling for the holidays. They've asked their families to keep
their distance until the baby's born, and are looking forward to a quiet
Christmas Day, opening presents and waiting by the phone.
Of course, no one keeps their distance.
First Brandon's father visits with his new
wife, plus Brandon's big brother and his wife, then Brandon's
mother arrives with her dry cleaner, his husband, and her favorite
author, and then Maggie's family arrives with her ultra-competitive
sister and her husband. Four actors play all three families.
Brandon and Maggie try to maintain traffic
control on a hectic holiday, but what happens when the birth mother goes
into labor, and everyone converges on the hospital, meeting her
family?
This lightning-paced quick change holiday
farce celebrates families of all kinds, with a lovely reminder that
we're all more alike than we realize. |
