Synopsis

On a warm, summer night in Ojai, California, Norm and his wife, Corky, are hosting a dinner party. They invite Norm’s tennis partner, Gerald, and his wife, Laura, over for an evening of polite small talk while they watch a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower from their backyard. However, as the night goes on, the dinner party begins to spiral out of control. The couples begin to flirt and wild antics ensue. This absurdist comedy from Steve Martin is a surprising and funny one-act that is an excellent feature for a small cast.
