Description A rip-snorting comic epic that deals with hypocrisy, alienation, betrayal, rugby, religion, sex, violence, politics and bad language. It's Westport in 1951. On March 28 The Court Theatre proudly presents a comedy where, true to their West Coast roots, the characters are feisty, argumentative, passionate and aggressive. And so are the men.
