Brief Synopsis of Show:
It’s self-made millionaire Richard Killingworth’s daughter’s big day. The last person he wants to see is his estranged wife, Mavis, the woman who put the “ex” in “exes.” Celebrating with his best friend Dick, who happens to be Mavis’ first husband, Richard’s life is turned upside down when the Queen of Chaos drops, unannounced, with her new fiancée in tow. Throw in a sharp-tongued butler, a champagne-soaked bridezilla and a snarky stepson, and you have the perfect storm of pandemonium, in this comedy with a heart, reminding us why marriage and divorce make for the strangest of bedfellows.
