“LOVE, LIES & THE LOTTERY” – Off Broadway Palms Dinner Theatre – Ft Myers

Activity Level: 2

Love, Lies & the Lottery, written by Jim Hesselman, is a delightful farce rife with multiple doors, mistaken identities, and ill-conceived plots. Throughout the production we meet Peter, an exterminator, who is holding out hope for a reconciliation with his soon-to-be ex-wife Rachel, and his eighty-two-year-old mother Beatrice, who lives with him, has a deep dislike of Rachel, an intense need to protect her son, an addiction to home shopping television, and a serious romance with eighty-seven-year-old Alfred. The audience also meets the ex-wife Rachel and Peter’s best friend Martin. One of the most creative aspects of this show is that when Peter, Beatrice, and Martin watch the TV, the TV personalities, such as the news anchor, the host of the home shopping network, and the psychics of the psychic hotline, are seen onstage. All these characters come together in wacky ways when they discover that Peter has a lottery ticket worth over five hundred million dollars. Find out who ends up with the money at Love, Lies & the Lottery.

Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre’s award-winning buffet included prior to the performance.
