FULL-LENGTH PLAY (90 MINUTES). Graham Walker and Dan Carlsen, two best friends and lovers since college, struggle with their desire to be together in a world where marriage to women is the unquestioned norm, and the AIDS epidemic makes living out of the closet a frightening option. Their solution is to marry women, start families, and live as next-door neighbors while continuing their relationship in private. This strategy works surprisingly well—until it doesn't. ROOMMATES takes place from 1971 to 1996, a period of sweeping social change.

ROOMMATES is a “standalone” play that may be performed on its own or together with the other two plays (MARRIAGE and AFTERMATH) that make up THE BRONXVILLE TRILOGY, or Marriages of Inconvenience. (ROOMMATES is the first play in the trilogy and includes a PROLOGUE when performed with the other two plays.)
