In the opening scene, two Supreme Beings plan the beginning of the world with the relish of two slightly sadistic suburban wives decorating a living room. From this moment, the audience is whisked through the outrageous universe of Kathy and Mo, where two actresses play men and women struggling through the common rituals of modern life: teenagers on a date, sisters at their grandmother's funeral, a man and a woman together in a country-western bar. With boundless humor, “Parallel Lives” reexamines the ongoing quest to find parity and love in a contest handicapped by capricious gods—or in this case, goddesses.
With Mo Gaffney, Kathy Najimy starred in and wrote The Kathy and Mo Show, her long running off Broadway play (Obie Award) --- which was later filmed for 2 HBO specials: Parallel Lives (2 Ace awards and an American Comedy Award Nomination) and Kathy & Mo: The Dark Side, (Cable Ace Awards for both her roles as actor and Executive Producer and American Comedy Award nom.)
