Family Values is a full-length comedy by Hoyt Hilsman. Set in Washington, DC, the play is about a Senator from Idaho and his oddball family. When son Duncan returns from his first semester at college, he discovers that his room has been turned over to an itinerant reporter for the BBC. His father is in the midst of a political campaign, his mother is trying to remember when the family dog died, and his sixteen-year old sister is about to elope to Las Vegas with her lesbian lover. Family Values is part of a family trilogy, which includes Foggy Bottom, which was adapted as a television pilot, optioned by Fox, and honored at the Slamdance Film Festival. Family Values has five characters and flexible settings.
