Synopsis

ROBERT and MARGE DUDEK have lived in the same house since they married seventy years ago. Now in their 90s and contending with age-related malaise, they hope to conceal their feebleness from their three aging children, who Robert believes are conspiring to relocate them to a facility for the elderly. When ex-con middle child Scotty learns his geriatric dad has squandered the family fortune, he ropes his reluctant sisters into a harebrained scheme to wrest control of what’s left of their parents’ estate.

A shady car dealer and a mysterious caregiver add to the chaos, as the conspiracy comes to a head, pitting sibling against sibling in this wild and darkly comedic play.

Put the FUN Back in Dysfunction
