A hilarious yet poignant tale of a transplanted Texan who discovers that you really can go home again. The real question is: who in his right mind would want to?
Mere moments after his arrival in his rural hometown of Grit, Texas with Chris, his laid-back lover, Manhattan hand model Clu Latimore is up to his stylish cut in problems that include caring for his dying mother and her pack of prize-winning Chihuahuas -- and, of course, initiating the incredulous Chris into the reality of life in the land of blue bonnets, barbecue, and Baptists. But just when Clu's all but ruled out suicide, along comes his former piano teacher and Grit's answer to Brooke Astor, Miss Oveta Canfield. Miss Oveta intends to transform the Espinosa County Livestock Barn into a dinner theater, and recruits Clu to direct a country-western version of "Agamemnon." Before Clu's journey is over, there will be a wedding, a birth, a funeral -- and of course, a no-holds-barred production of "Agamemnon -- the Musical."
