About the Play:<\/p>\n
It all begins when against his own wishes to simply vacation on the
\nNew Jersey shore playing pinochle, the Hollander family patriarch has
\ntaken his wife and daughter on a tour through Europe. In an unnamed
\nEastern European country, they take a few too many pictures that just
\nhappen to include a military base lined with razor wire and are
\nimmediately marked by the Communist government as American spies. They
\nmanage to outrun their pursuers as far as the American Embassy. But
\nthere, the Ambassador has left things in the hands of his incompetent
\nson who hasn’t managed to last more than two months in any Foreign
\nService job his dad’s influence has landed him. He doesn’t know a
\nthing about how to get the Hollander family back to New Jersey or how
\nto stop the Communists from burning the family in effigy. However, he
\nis very good with infatuation for the Hollander’s daughter.<\/p>\n
Our helpful narrator for all this mayhem is Father Drobney who,
\nrather than return to the hands of a hostile regime, has lived in the
\nEmbassy for the last six years practicing his magic tricks. Add in a
\nmuch-insulted chef, the Sultan of Bashir, and a snooty bureaucrat,
\namong other eccentric characters, and you have the makings of a
\nfirst-rate farce.<\/p>\n
