Curtis simply wants to make a memorable toast at the rehearsal dinner for his son's wedding.

Cultures clash when a surprise guest is announced, threatening to throw convention out the window.

Reviews
"Directed with a deft touch by Mark Lamos, Primary Stages' production is adorned by a suave comic performance from Daniel Davis!" - NY Times
"Mark Lamos not only maintains the necessary pace but helps the playwright mine familiar themes and avoid it all coming off as too been there/done that. Happily the actors have wit and charm to spare." - CurtainUp
"Gurney’s script, directed by Mark Lamos, is full of humor, particularly an escalating “just-when-you-thought-it-couldn’t-get-any-worse” kind when it comes to issues with the bride and her family." - Reflections in the Light
