MARRIAGE COMEDY COMBAT

Clothesline – sounds simple, doesn’t it? But what a wife has in mind when she says “clothesline” and what a husband has in mind may be the difference between sleeping in marital bliss and sleeping in the doghouse.

    Function over fashion. I love a good marital conflict story over the simplest of things, especially when it hits close to home. This one did not disappoint. Jean Yeager has captured the essence of opposing perspectives and the all too familiar "yes, dear".

    CLOTHES LINE is relatable and yet another ten-minute play where I didn't want it to end! Yeager does a fantastic job at expressing inner monologues. I can feel the stress and frustration of these characters pouring off of the pages. Well done!
