SYNOPSIS: A young man’s worst nightmare: his own personal life, mistakes and failures, is brought hilariously to the stage in a succession of embarrassing moments orchestrated and revealed by a Greek chorus of six nagging mothers in his head. Vexed and hounded by finger-pointing failure, nagging guilt, missed opportunities, and a son’s duties and responsibilities, the young man’s trials result in a playful, comical, and paranoid theatrical presentation of a conscience riddled by a mother’s overprotective love and good intentions.

Ideally, one of the mothers in the Greek chorus should be Jewish, one should be African-American, one should be Italian, one should be Asian, one should be Irish, and one should be an arrogant white woman from the country club. However, any combination of ethnicities will be fine as long as the operative word above, nagging, is the hallmark of each mother’s personality. Have fun with the chorus!
