Love, Sex and the IRS. Beijing Playhouse's absurd farce will "drag" audiences through a wild race of cross-dressing, sight gags, twists of fate, and mistaken identities-the ingredients for mayhem in this slapstick comedy.

Jon and Leslie, two out of work men rooming together in NYC, are cheating on their taxes-claiming to be married to save a little money. When a suspicious IRS tax collector drops by to investigate, Leslie squeezes into a dress, masquerades as Jon's wife, and things quickly spiral into side-splitting pandemonium.

Add to that chaos Jon's mother unexpectedly popping in to plan the wedding, the fact that Leslie is having an affair with Jon's fiancée, and a busybody beer swilling landlord who lets himself in whenever he darn well pleases and you have quite a romp.

"Rip-roaringly funny." -Florida Times Union

"An all American farce, be sure to see Love, Sex and the IRS." -Theatre Mirror
