• Synopsis

  Mammy’s had a heart attack. Leslie is in denial. Cinnamon doesn’t care. Neil just wants to dance. Their estranged sister John is unhappy about all of this. Funeral preparations are underway. All that’s left to do is pull the plug and wait for Mammy to die. Tempers flare and bad habits resurface as relationships disintegrate. We Can’t Have Monkeys in the House is an absurd comedy about tragedy, regression and death. All the fun stuff.
