The Last Virgin From Las Vegas

by Jack R. Stanley

Overview

Slamming doors, near misses and comic mayhem are just the beginning of a honeymoon mix up between the beautiful star of the number one rated TV sitcom, "The Last Virgin From Las Vegas," her handsome, skirt chasing co-star, and the brides ex-jock bridegroom.

To celebrate the taping of the 200th episode of the TV series, the male lead gave all the women in the cast and crew a garter with a cameo of his face on it. The one he gave to his co-star had an additional very impressive jewel on it. While the bride was packing for her honeymoon she discovered the gift and sent an angry e-mail to her co-star demanding that he take it back before her jealous linebacker found it and took it the wrong way.

Thinking she meant right now, the male co-star shows up at the bride's honeymoon cabin, an old bootleggers hideout of the jock's great grandfather which has been turned into a family retreat over the years. Meanwhile, the male co-star's ditzy wife found out about the garter and decided her husband was having an affair with the bride. She plans her revenge by coming to the honeymoon cabin to be caught having sex with her not-so-willing lawyer.

A long suffering butler, the bride's sarcastic assistant as well as a mix of other delightful characters all become a part of this visual and joke filled two act play that leaps off the page. Based on a 1920's Broadway hit by the Neil Simon of his age, Avery Hopwood, this comedy is modernization of the fast paced, fun and games of this farce that's like "NOISES OFF."
