A comedy about cancer. Frank has decided to end chemo treatments, choosing instead to chain smoke his way to the bitter end. His son, Steve, has recently gone into a tailspin after his ex-boyfriend left him, and returning home to care for Frank has NOT HELPED: the two have been at each other’s throats since the moment Steve arrived. In an attempt to get Frank to go back on chemo and keep fighting, Steve hires Marty--a born again hospice nurse, with a song in his heart. The deal is this: if Frank goes back on treatments, Steve will fire Marty. If not...Marty stays...until the bitter, bitter end. While Frank struggles to come to terms with his son’s identity, Steve struggles to accept his father’s mortality. The play is a vicious comedy about loss, death, and a father and son trying to meet somewhere in the middle.
