ABOUT THE PLAY:


Leslie wants the township council to build a playground for their economically depressed American town, and two new friends offer to help:  a lawyer for the council who has recently moved back from the city; and the entrepreneurial owner of a local wine shop with big plans.  Which will Leslie choose and whom can Leslie trust, after lies are exposed, and the friends reveal their true natures?
