This fast-paced, door-slamming comedy follows two roommates who try to cheat the IRS by pretending to be married. Their scheme unravels in spectacular fashion when fiancées, a suspicious tax investigator, and a meddling landlord all show up at the worst possible moments. Big characters, quick timing, and nonstop chaos make this a crowd-pleasing spring production.
