In 1962, with the looming missile crisis from Communist Cuba, an average suburban housewife launches a coup d'etat of her own. At the onset of free love, this double- coupon matron gives "down south" double meaning, and the comedy ensues. "The Down South of the title refers to Cuba — and to oral sex," Field told Playbill On Line (June 2000) when his play ran at Hollywood's Flight Theatre where it extended four times.

Director Rick Sparks, who directed the L.A. production helms, a cast that features David Bicha, Anthony DeSantis, Dean Fortunato, Erin McLaughlin, Audrey Rapoport, and Alice Vaughn. The design team includes Paule Doss (costumes), John McDermott (set) and Ed McCarthy (lighting).

Rattlestick Productions, now in its sixth season, have recently brought to the New York such shows as Harry Kondoleon's Saved or Destroyed, Lucy Thurber's Killers and Other Family and Daniel MacIvor's See Bob Run. Coming up this season are Adam Rapp's Faster, Wesley Moore's Finders Fee and Joe Hortua's Burning.
