Dixon Place presents Holly Hughes in Let Them Eat Cake 12/2-18
By: Gabrielle Sierra
Let Them Eat Cake is the wedding nightmare your mother warned you about, a gay marriage gone wrong that asks the guests to salvage The Situation by interrogating what it means to be married, single, gay, straight, commitment-phobic, a joiner, included or jeering from the outskirts. Come for the cake, if nothing else!
