In the near future, Rome lives a life of indentured servitude on the 28th Floor of the Empire State Building, now home to squatters and a vertical city. She spends her time working at a bodega on the floor which is run by the crafty and shifty Selma, and caring for Orlando, a mute orphan who only plays video games. The building and possibly the city are falling apart, and Rome desires to leave, especially now that the building is going on lock down to save the residents from outsiders. Rome is torn between San Diego, a strapping building resident who is becoming a security guard and Detroit, a passionate black market delivery man who lives on the outside. As she makes her decision to leave the building, Orlando accuses her of being a terrorist and she is taken to the 85th floor, interrogated, and tortured. Her only potential allies are either San Diego or Detroit, both of whom are more conflicted and complicated than Rome initially thought. She meets the mayor, or actually mayors, and is forced to choose between a life in the building, or death.

Can the town cash in on Sherry’s success to revitalize itself? Will Amber use her proximity to Sherry as a launching pad towards her own career as a celebutante? And will Cecil Ravinsdale ever find a way to get out of town? All this is addressed in this dark comedy about fleeting fame, dying towns, and raw talent.

I’m in Love with your wife is a classic farce in structure, but also a dark and modern comedy.

Gary, early 30s, is a corporate middleman who just tries to make it through the day without rocking the boat. He mostly keeps to himself, interacting only with his sex-crazed and hard partying assistant Bethany who regales Gary, against his will, of tales of her evenings on the club scene.

Paul, Gary’s snarky best friend since childhood, arrives at his office unannounced. Paul drops a bombshell: he is in love with Gary’s wife. A consummate womanizer, Paul shares his story of (unfortunately) requited love, all the while flirting with Bethany. Paul keeps his cool, but demands of all things that Paul apologize for plagiarizing a dirty limerick written in elementary school.

The next day, as Gary is still digesting his friend’s news, Paul’s wife Gail visits Gary and drops a bombshell of her own: she is also in love with Gary’s wife, and has had numerous trysts with her. However, Gail emphatically denies she is a lesbian. To prove she isn’t a lesbian, she invites Bethany into Gary’s office for a lesson in temptation.

Gary discusses the chain of events with his therapist, Dr. Feldberg. The good doctor is a capable professional, although he himself is obsessed with celebrity culture; specifically, all things pertaining to Jon Voight. Not entirely convince Gary is telling the truth, the good doctor comes up with a plan to go incognito to a dinner party thrown by Gary and his wife and witness firsthand the alleged atrocities of his close friends. To aid in his disguise, the therapist brings along a ringer: another of his patients Ruth happens to be a struggling actress, and she attends the party as an impoverished Russian immigrant named Mascha.

At the party, tensions are high between the guests. Gary is angry with Paul, who obliviously flirts with Mascha while Gail stays in the kitchen with the wife, presumably cooking. Feldberg, struggling with maintaining his false identity, attempts to learn why all of Gary’s close friends are infatuated with the wife.

“I’M IN LOVE WITH YOUR WIFE,” Alex Goldberg’s new screwball comedy about marital infidelity, is very very funny.  Add to that script a talented cast and great director, and you have a hit on your hands.” - Duncan Pflaster, Broadway World.com

“Thanks to tight staging, a confident and generous cast, and a democratic script full of dizzy twists, this quick-witted piece revels in its shallowness, and a good time is had by all (except Gary).” Jon Sobel, blogcritics.org

“Delicious humor, sophisticated wit, and oh so many quotes to relate to, that is, for those of us who have experienced relationship dilemmas.  The urban “condition” floats freely evoking unbridled laughter and real audience engagement.”  Roberta on the Arts
