From the Inside Flap
John Guare poignant Obie Award-winning comedy unfolds in New York City on the day the Pope is expected to visit. Hearts are palpitating in the sleepy borough of Queens, but not entirely on account of His Holiness. Bunny Flingus, a femme-fatale from Flushing (or thereabouts) is stirring things up in the quiet, unfulfilled life of aspiring songwriter Artie Shaughnessy. Artie longs to leave his unhappy marriage, elope with Bunny, and write a hit song that will top the charts.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Mary Teresa Fortuna, Sharon Gless, Deb Gottesman, Christopher Lane, Ron Leibman, Cam Magee, Jennifer Mendenhall, Jessica Walter and Michael Willis.
