Claire is a woman with a rare form of amnesia that erases her memory every night. Each morning, her cheerful husband explains her condition and hands her a book of essential information. But today, things take a strange turn when a lisping, limping, masked man claiming to be her brother drags her to her mother’s country house.

Claire’s journey to uncover her past is complicated by her mother's recent stroke, her stoned son, a claustrophobic cop, and an escaped convict with a foul-mouthed puppet. As the chaos unfolds, Claire gets closer to understanding her past life in this darkly comedic, fast-paced adventure.

“…heady fun…fresh, zingy dialogue, which revels in warping the language of self-help books…Like the resourceful chef who turns leftovers into haute cuisine, Mr. Lindsay-Abaire blends clichéd ingredients into something savory and distinctive…[a] dark, sweet and thoroughly engaging comedy.” —The New York Times.

“…an antically zany new play…” —Variety.

“…wicked fun…the evening explodes with laughter.” —New York Magazine.
