This is a compelling depiction of the start of a bad marriage. Man and Woman are both clear in their sadly divergent views of what this wedding means. So much that is so resonant is revealed in this short piece.

This is very much a 1971 marriage! I mean, this poor woman couldn't get her own line of credit in '71. So many women jumped at their first proposal, thinking it was "freedom." It's sad and funny at the same time. But, come to think of it, this arrangement still happens today. A two minute play that really has me thinking!

This is relatable. As a kid I would've thought this was fiction, but as an adult with 6+ years to process my parent's divorce, this doesn't seem far from truth that many people probably (and sadly) faced. Marcia Eppich-Harris created a great piece of theatre with this short play!
