Overview

Synopsis

Paul is anxiously waiting for his parents. He is about to introduce his new wife, Karen, to them and wants everything to be perfect. They have not yet met Karen, and Paul has drilled his wife on how to behave in front of them. When Karen enters wearing a red sweater, he demands that she change (her sweater) for his parents. He is worried that, with him wearing a green sweater, they look like a walking Christmas cliche. But has Paul pushed Karen too far with his demands?

This is a ten minute play.
