Blurb

It is July 2011. New York has become the sixth state to legalize same-sex marriage. This full-length bedroom farce for the 21st century asks, “What brings a couple of middle-aged heterosexual swingers, their gay son, his new husband, a transwoman, and a closeted cop all together one fateful night?” Carpe Noctem! explores sexual attraction, gender identity, and naughty alternative lifestyles.

THIS SHOW IS 90 MINUTES LONG

THIS IS A SHORT PLAY THAT WILL BE PERFORMED WITH OTHER SHORT PLAYS WITHIN A 90 MINUTE TIME SPAN
