Parallel Lives at Cape Fear Playhouse

In the opening scene, two Supreme Beings plan the beginning of the world with the relish of two slightly sadistic suburban housewives decorating a living room. Once theyve 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. Afraid women will have too many advantages, the Beings decide to make childbirth painful and to give men enormous egos as compensation. From this moment, the audience is whisked through the outrageous universe of Kathy and Mo, where four actresses play men and women struggling through the common rituals of modern life: teenagers on a date, sisters at their grandmothers funeral, a man and woman together at a country-western bar. With boundless humor, PARALLEL LIVES reexamines the ongoing quest to find parity and love in a contest handicapped by capricious gods- or in this case, goddesses. THIS PRODUCTION IS FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY. NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN.
