What does it take to throw a wedding no one will ever forget? Two half-heartedly uttered “I do’s,” three mother-prepared courses, a massive fish tank with two little fish, a few missing nails, an expansive wedding table, eight chairs, and nine insatiable petty bourgeois. A boisterous grotesque revealing the lesser-known sides of Brecht’s genius.

“Sometimes the grass is greener, because it’s fake.”
