The story focuses on blue-collar man Dan and his Dallas native fiance. When Dan discovers a shocking secret about his family, all hell breaks loose and plenty of laughs are guaranteed.
The play is written by Robert Askins and comes after his fantastic production 'Hand to God' which gained five Tony Award nominations, including one for the best new play.
