Called "always fascinating" by The New York Times, A Tale of Two Cities is an irreverent comedy that tells the story of a drag queen named Jerry (Synetic Company Member Alex Mills) who finds a crying baby at his front door. To calm the child down, he enacts the entirety of Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities - playing all the characters himself!
