About the play

Jody’s mother Wendy has run off with a much-younger girlfriend, leaving behind two things she no longer wants: her daughter and her ex. Phoebe—a photographer with no legal claim to Jody and no discernible parenting instincts—is now the closest thing Jody has to an adult. Jody appoints herself Phoebe’s assistant and mounts a campaign to find romantic love. Nothing goes according to plan, least of all what happens with Phoebe.
