Naked Under Your Clothes

Synopsis:
John and Ron form part of a vibrant and humorously self-deprecating intellectual "scene." they are best friends. John meets and falls in love with Tia, a nurse, and together they take in elise, a parentless teenager with cancer, as their daughter. Soon the four create a family, which in a concentrated period of time renews them forever. This warm play explores the foundation of family: decency, love, compassion. Funny and gripping, Naked Under Your Clothes ends in a miracle that leaves the audience breathless.
