Whatever Works
"A new comedy!"
Overview
Whatever Works explores the relationship between a crotchety misanthrope, Boris and a naïve, impressionable young runaway from the south, Melody.

Everyone discovers that finding love is just a combination of lucky chance and appreciating the value of "whatever works."
