About this book

"The play takes place in a "metaphysical Connecticut" where married doctors emply a Brazilian housekeeper who is more interested in coming up with the perfect joke than in cleaning. Trouble erupts when the husband falls in love with one of his cancer patients. The theatrical and wildly funny, whimsical look at class, comedy, and the nature of love gives new meaning to 'I almost died laughing.' " -- Publisher's description on back cover.
