After meeting in a local pub, Jeff and a young gardener, Greg, hit it off and begin to date. When Greg meets Jeff's stubborn, opinionated Dad however, he begins to back off. Meanwhile, Dad too as a new flame: a woman he met through a dating service. Put off by Jeff's homosexuality, prosaic Joyce also pulls away; just before Dad suffers a stroke.
REVIEWS:
"A father son play with a big heart. Its first act has plenty of laughs, while the second half balances humor and pathos and includes a surprising conclusion... ought to run in resident theaters and summer stock for years to come."
Variety
"An old fashioned play in the best sense. There's a real story and fully developed characters an audience can care about."
