Synopsis: From the Legendary Moldavia Massacre to the Infamous Cat Fight in the Lily Pond, this comedy spoofs the decade defined by big hair and shoulders. Blake has been cleared of murder after the return of his first wife, Alexis, who claims that she, not Krystle, is his legal wife. Blake issues the women a challenge- he has sold his oil empire and bought a fashion house. The woman who designs the best fashion line will be his wife. The two vie for the attention/help of recently back from the dead gay son Steven. Nympho Fallon is insulted no one wants her help and always eager to please yet dull as dishwater Adam volunteers to help his mother Alexis. Meanwhile, Sammy Jo enlists the aide of a drag queen to impersonate and kidnap Krystle during the big show. During the fashion show Fallon disappears, Adam is hysterical and Steven saves the day, but not before the Carrington's crazed maid almost ruins everything. The story spins wildly from there with long lost children, a dramatic plane crash in the jungle, a Royal Wedding, a re-cast Steven and of course, cat fights galore! | ||||

Synopsis: A Playwright has two obsessions- Tennessee Williams and his own failure. This mysterious stranger enters New Orleans and the lives of four people when he wanders into the political headquarters for a young State Senate Candidate, Nicholas Whitmore. The campaign is run by his controlling father, Alexander, who has just arranged a marriage between his son and Leanna Lorenzo, a local girl with a definite wild streak that no one, not even her own sister, Kat, can tame. The playwright wanders into this mix and befriends the young couple. Family secrets abound on both sides as the past begins to unwind the present and the mysterious stranger that has wandered into their world begins writing his new play, using these four strangers as the basis for his greatest work, an ambitious and seemingly absurd attempt to write the sequel to Williams' STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. | ||||
