The Lays of Our Lives by Kris Thompson

This Soap Opera inspired play finds Charles Ivory in the hospital on his death bed, his devoted wife Virginia close by, and his pregnant lover just around the corner. A surfing son, a questionable doctor, a nanny-on-the-side, a soap empire hanging in the balance...and there might just be some dancing with placentas.
