A critically acclaimed and widely celebrated play!

This darkly hilarious and deeply moving play explores the unexpected intimacy formed in the most unlikely of places. In this work, a foul-mouthed twenty-something comedian and an "older" man going through a bitter divorce find themselves brought together when their cancer-stricken mothers become hospital roommates in the hospital. As they navigate their own personal struggles, they discover solace and humor in each other's company, making some of the world's most inappropriate jokes along the way.

Content Advisory: This play contains strong language, simulated sexual situations, discussions of sexual violence, and mature topics such as terminal illness, death, and drug overdose. It is recommended for audiences 18 and older. For a detailed list of content warnings, please email sahboojak.official@gmail.com.
