In this full-length real-time play, we witness Meredith and Midge’s consultation process as they work with the self-proclaimed mastermind, Drina Dynasty, a greedy businesswoman with a God complex, to rid themselves of the less socially appealing constraints of being husbandless, childless, jobless, and friendless. Make-overs, photo sessions, and doctored personal histories complete with phony husbands and children are only the beginning of the lengths that will be pursued in a failed attempt to transform these two outcasts into publicly-adored stars of their class reunion and to fuse meaning into their meaningless lives. Trappings questions the manufacturing of the illusion of the American dream and the desperate and bitterly comical lengths that individuals will go through to try to achieve it or at least make those around them believe they have. | Male: | 0 | Female: | 3 | Max.
