This bittersweet comedy of human errors opens in an East Texas trailer park where tensions are at the boiling point. Waitress and aspiring actress Patsy Tyson is preparing for her local theatre debut, arousing her ne'r do well husband Ed's suspicions as a growing attraction develops with her leading man. Casting a wary eye on the lovebirds, Ed enlists his reluctant pal Duke to join the production. As the romantic complications mount, opening night approaches and they all must finally face a harsh reality in the light of day. With a style that takes realism to the borders of the ridiculous, Moonlight Cocktail explores human follies with an effortless and lyrical humor.
