One of the funniest plays ever written, this extraordinarily inventive, side-splitting comedy (set in Terre Haute, Indiana) centers on
the hilarious dilemma of a young architect who is visited by a hopelessly inept “nerd” he’s never met before but who happened to
save his life. "Shue delivers a neatly crafted package that uses some classic comic forms to bring the audience to its knees, laughing." —The Milwaukee Journal. "The audience almost never stops laughing—handkerchiefs wiping away tears of merriment." —Variety.

Atlanta, December 1939. Hitler has invaded Poland. The premiere of Gone with the Wind is the next day. But the biggest concern
of the Freitag family is finding a socially suitable date for daughter Lala to Ballyhoo, a lavish ball for Jewish socialites. When Uncle Adolph brings Joe -- his new, very eligible assistant -- home for dinner, the romantic schemes begin. This Tony-Award winning comedy captures the same heartfelt warmth as the author’s earlier success, Driving Miss Daisy.
