80 minute comedy

About the play:
A colourful cast of characters collaborate and connive in this hilarious tale of misplaced unisex Viagra pills resulting in mishap and mayhem of “afflicted” residents in Serenity Gardens Retirement Village, Cemetery Road.
Take a new-age, three time divorcee and bride-to-be gran, her nervy 70 year old virgin groom, toss in a mad Scot, a gay cop and an exotic doc; then mix in an “uplifted” ex-reverend, his witty wife and a blue-stockinged busybody, and you have all the ingredients for a fun-filled 80 minutes of laugh-out loud-comedy and farce.
Who knew that a sixty-something’s wedding could give rise to such chaos, calamity and kinky chemistry? Not to mention the kaftans! Shssh…Don’t Mention the kaftans. Why not? You’ll just have to read on and find out…
