Ever since Alexis, a young composer, moved in with her boyfriend in way uptown Manhattan, her pet parrot has been having an anxiety attack. What’s worse, Lee, the girl she’s been flirting with, just showed up uninvited to dinner – and Julian and Thomasina, “The Perfect Couple,” are due over any minute. And is it really a good idea to start downing shots of a so-called truth serum? Plucker is an old-school farce about a new generation dealing with the anxieties of commitment and co-habitation.
