Synopsis:
“The Opposite Sex” is a contemporary farce of marriage and modern relationships with a bitter-sweet twist. The play revolves around a dinner party with two couples, which instead of being a pleasant social evening, turns out to be a social nightmare. They have only one thing in common, and when they find out what it is – all hell breaks loose!
