"Stand still and don't do anything." These are the fundamentals to being an art gallery steward. Mary gets it. Unfortunately for Joe, that just won't do.

When he discovers a talent for sales, chaos ensues. Staged thefts, forged paintings and national headlines are to follow for the damned duo. After all, you can't sell a painting that isn't for sale... but I know someone who can. 
Framed or Fortune is a three-hander farce about art, value and what happens when someone finds their true purpose even when they're not supposed to!
