A sly, funny, twisted, and surreal sex farce in which the parents of schoolchildren ponder how to spend a day free from work and the duties of parenthood. "Good sex comedy should surprise you with how long it can keep its premise up and satisfying. By that measure, Billy Aronson's new farce, FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, is a humdinger.

This is edgy, tricky stuff ..." -Punch Shaw, Star Telegram (Dallas)
