Parallel Lives by Mo Gaffney and Kathy Najimy
In the opening scene, two Supreme Beings plan the beginning of the world with the relish of two suburban wives decorating a living room. Once they’ve decided on the color scheme of the races, a little concerned that white people will feel slighted being such a boring color, they create sex and the sexes. From this moment, the audience is whisked through an outrageous universe, where four actresses play men and women struggling through the common rituals of modern life: teenagers on a date, sisters at their grandmother’s funeral, a man and a woman together in a country-western bar. With boundless humor, PARALLEL LIVES reexamines the ongoing quest to find parity and love through a series of funny and provocative sketches.
