FULL-LENGTH PLAY (90 MINUTES). On the verge of committing suicide, a college student who fears he might be gay decides to marry his girlfriend instead. Eight years later, Chip and Sally Miller seem to lead a perfect life in Manhattan, but a secretly tormented Chip considers walking out on their marriage until Sally announces that she’s pregnant and convinces him to have this baby with her and move out to Westchester, far away from the city’s temptations. As the Miller clan grows over the years, so do Chip’s despair and desperation as he secretly acts out in increasingly dangerous ways. This story is told in part through excerpts from the therapy sessions they attend when the marriage starts to fall apart.
MARRIAGE is a “standalone” play that may be performed on its own or together with the other two plays (ROOMMATES and AFTERMATH) that make up THE BRONXVILLE TRILOGY, or Marriages of Inconvenience. (MARRIAGE is the second play in the trilogy and includes a PROLOGUE when performed with the other two plays.)
