←Recommendations of Man & Wife, a neuro-queer oddity

A dark comedy on straight marriage in the Age of Trumpism. Necessary theatre because it captures so perfectly partisan tension between many married straight couples today. An allegory for that ideological divide in the United States. A rollicking theatricalization of marriage, its rites and rituals, like raising children and answering to the previous generation's expectations. With Man & Wife's domestic life as a series of performances before an unseen fourth-wall camera, this experiemental two-hander plays with the structure of theatre and marriage, while dealing with gender identity and truth relativism post-2016 election. Highly recommended for reading and production. Bravo!

Wonderful 2-hander! Very funny, very real issues, very real emotions. Great for small theatre companies because it would be easy to produce and provide a full evening of enjoyment and discussion.

MAN & WIFE is hysterically funny, incisively smart, and many-layered. It is also structured to my strict standards. The characters are multi-dimensional, quirky, and very real. We root for first one, then the other. We care about them, sitting on the edges of our seats so we don't miss what comes next. I can count the number of excellent, two-actor, full-length plays on one hand. This is one of them.
