This is a comedy written by Rob Selzer, the writer of In Bed with the Bishops. The play is set one evening in the home of Beth and Adam. They have their best friends, Gale and Barry over for a barbecue and are joined by Beth’s brother, Nick, and his girlfriend, Francine/Lola (the vegan of the title – and the double name will be clarified as the play progresses). The action alternates between the patio, dining room and kitchen as multiple dramas play out.
