“Good fences make good neighbors”, but you can’t always choose your neighbors. In this brilliant new comedy, cultures and gardens clash, turning well-intentioned neighbors into feuding enemies. Pablo, a high-powered lawyer and doctoral candidate Tania, his very pregnant wife, are realizing the American dream when they purchase a house next door to community stalwarts Virginia and Frank., a well-established D.C. couple with a prize-worthy English garden. But an impending barbeque for Pablo’s colleagues and a delicate disagreement over a long-standing fence line soon spirals into an all-out border dispute, exposing both couples’ notions of race, taste, class and privilege.

The play should also have two to four extras to play the silent roles of the SURVEYOR, LANDSCAPERS and BUILDING EXAMINER. There are short theatrical vignettes between scenes that can help transform the garden. These workers should preferably be ethnic and exude unique personalities as they work. They are the witnesses and the energetic transformers of both the play and the situation.
