A bitingly funny postmodern comedy of manners, which follows the fortunes of a group of urban male "yuppies" as they attempt to come to terms with life. The play traces the misadventures of three former college buddies now seeking to make their way in the big city—and with various women of their acquaintance. Moving along briskly, with its mood of satirical humor brilliantly sustained, the play dissects and anatomizes the male narcissism—and protracted adolescence—which characterizes its protagonists and, in the end, makes it hilariously clear that it is actually the women who possess the qualities of "manhood" and maturity which their deluded lovers so desperately lay claim to.

"Dramatic subtlety and easy character interplay....Cory Stonebrook shines as hapless Phil, who wonders, 'Everyone's worried about the world blowing up . . . but what if it doesn't?' " -Chicago Reader

"Hangar 9’s sense of period is flawless: Erica Hohn’s costumes and Melissa Schlesinger’s sound design create pitch-perfect ’80s atmosphere and affect. The performances are energetic, some surprisingly nuanced—particularly an unexpectedly soulful turn by Combs in a role that lends itself to straight Neanderthal—and Rost’s production moves briskly.... it’s clear this year-old company’s packed with talent and potential" -Time Out Chicago
