Synopsis:



At
a large, tastefully appointed Sneden's Landing townhouse, the Deputy
Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though only a flesh wound,
four couples are about to experience a severe attack of farce.
Gathering for their tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding
in the other room and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer, Ken,
and Ken’s wife, Chris, must get "the story" straight
before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and
miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical
hilarity.
