Following a bizarre election, the winning party's supporters have mysteriously transformed into orangutans—including the town's mayor. When a determined theater producer requests permission to stage the musical Rent at the city's opera house, she finds herself facing an unusual opponent whose objections seem rooted more in prejudice than artistic judgment. As their increasingly absurd confrontation unfolds, the producer challenges the mayor's authority, his beliefs, and his determination to control what others are allowed to see. Monkey See, Monkey Do is a sharp two-character political satire about censorship, hypocrisy, artistic freedom, and the unexpected consequences of following the crowd.
