Inside a house, a house in a series of houses on a fraternity row, a house in which DVDs serve as coasters and drool stains the sofa, live three roommates far past their college days. A thousand girlfriends come and gone, a thousand drinks downed, a thousand parties crashed–every night the same, until now. There’s a party tonight, but it is not the blaring music that makes sleep impossible. Tonight, these bachelors will understand what their choices have really gotten them.

"Men are pigs. But so are women. So says Caroline V. McGraw. In her plays, though, particularly Lesser America’s upcoming The Bachelors, the porcine male is more glaringly, luridly, hilariously on display."

"Clever dialogue...the audience can be laughing one second, and in stunned silence the next."

"As the man-children enact straight boy rituals like drinking to conceal their pain and wrestling each other instead of talking about their feelings, a violent force enters their space."
"Even when all hell breaks loose, McGraw's script is designed to tantalize, not bludgeon."
