Wish there was a drug that could fix everything wrong with your long-term relationship? Turns out, that's a really bad idea.
Love in Idleness is a full-length musical comedy inspired by A Midsummer Night's Dream set in 2025 NYC. Obie, a scientist for a pharmaceutical company, invents the title drug to reignite the spark in his long-term relationship with Tim, a drag performer at New York's hottest gay club. Things go hilariously wrong, yielding absurdly mismatched pairings between Tim, Obie's coworker and friend Hermione, her boyfriend and more. While Obie grapples with these mismatched lovers, an evil right-wing group is conspiring to harness the drug's power to serve its diabolical purposes. In the end, non-pharmacological love reigns and all is well.
