Description: "A rich social satire, Life is a Long Quiet River centers on the abrupt collision of two very different families and the hilarious results.
The Lequesnoys {le-kay-nwah} live the ordered, polite, uptight life of the securely wealthy. The Groseilles {groh-zay} are a slovenly family of tramps, lowlifes and thieves from the other side of the tracks. When an act of revenge uncovers the fact that twelve years ago their babies were switched at birth, the two families are plunged into chaos.
A witty send up of class distinctions and family ties, Life is a Long Quiet River is a delightful and penetrating comedy."
