A farce about two Manhattan roommates who cook up a scheme to file a joint tax return as a married couple in order to claim a lucrative deduction, only to be thrown into a panic when an IRS auditor announces a home visit to verify their marriage is real. As they scramble to convincingly play house, real romantic entanglements, jealous partners, and mounting lies pile up faster than they can manage. The play wrings broad comedy from the growing gap between the fictional marriage they are performing and the actual romantic chaos swirling around them. It's a fast-paced, door-slamming comedy in the classic mistaken-identity farce tradition.
