All three have major problems: Elly (Jacqueline Laggy) is newly pregnant with a kid she doesnt want to a boyfriend she doesnt love; Jen (Pilar Uribe), who shirks serious relationships in favor of one-night-stands, is trying to fend off a lecherous and certifiable coworker; and Gayle (Lela Elam) cant even bring herself to phone a potential date, satisfied to be the peacemaking interlocutor between her increasingly on-edge roommates.
Then theres the fourth member of this pitiful household: Jessica (Dyani Batcheller), whom we meet much later, is a naïve and condescending Catholic who fails to recognize that the sexless relationship shes fostered for years with her beau is on the brink of collapse.
It sounds like grim stuff, but this production is one of the years snappiest and funniest, providing ample opportunity for the capable ensemble to express their comedic chops. Laggy, in particular, has never been better, but all four actresses embody every complex emotion, from gleefully sloshed sisters-in-arms to confessional sad sacks to prickly verbal warriors.
