It’s 1950, during the red-hunting McCarthy era, and Bob and Norma, two U.S. State Department employees, have the “perfect arrangement” to keep their gay identities a secret; by marrying each other’s partners as a cover to keep their jobs. Their lifestyles are threatened when they get a new assignment—to seek out sexual deviants within their ranks.
The gay couples occupy adjacent homes, connected by an open closet, which lets them switch places as needed, and the need arises when the stuffy government boss visits with his wife. The boss’s ditzy wife wants to be friends and a former lover of one of the ladies turns up to further complicate things. Will they be able to keep up their rouse and avoid suspicion? And what or who are they willing to sacrifice along the way?

CHARACTER LIST
Bob Martindale (late 20s – early 40s)
A WWII veteran, reserved. A bit bookish but a solid
man’s man. Good-humored and well-mannered.

A prankster type, always ready with a comeback. A high school teacher with lots of energy. A little wired, good with a plan.
Theodore Sunderson (late 40s – early 60s)
The boss. Bombastic, loud, a bit overbearing. A patriotic windbag.
Kitty Sunderson (late 40s – early 60s)
Ted’s wife. Legitimately ditzy. Her brain seems to work on a totally different wavelength than the rest of the world. Very sweet and very genuine. Just doesn’t quite “get it
Barbara Grant (late 30s – 40s)
A formidable opponent. No-nonsense; beautiful, brilliant, a little scary.
