Think of Mork and Mindy. But instead of Mindy, there’s a male scientist named George Jenkins with an unhappy home life. And instead of Mork, there’s a female lesbian alien named Myrna. Throw in a bit of 50s sit-com (Father Knows Best, Leave It To Beaver) and old-school Words From Our Sponsor segments and you’ve got this play in a nutshell.

All roles are well played and the comedic timing is so excellent the audience is made to actually sound like a “Live Studio Audience” laugh track. This creates a believable atmosphere of actually being in the audience of a sitcom taping, and I find that impressive.

Oh, and throw a little Ed Wood in as well. It’s that hokey.

Very enjoyable.
