Princess Margaret tipsily suggests that the new royal baby be christened Johnny Walker, then collapses in a drunken heap. The Pope comes on as just another hipster in wraparound shades, with a banjo and a Texas drawl. And Ronald Reagan spends most of his time in pajamas searching for his missing brain...
...their friend Gregers Werle (Christopher McCann)--who moves in and reorders their lives with disastrous consequences--mingles religious fanaticism with a rich man's easy disdain for money. Fittingly, the production ends without the comfort of catharsis, in a fistfight between the unrepentant Gregers and a neighbor, a drunken but discerning doctor.

Year after year, lots of headaches from drunken preppies parking their tailgates on my lawn for the Head of the Charles. Lots more tourists in my backyard for the Olympics.

To effectively make a feminist statement, one would have to introduce issues beyond the mundane comic plane...
