Friendship, marriage, infidelity. . .

A happily married couple discovers that their friends are not as happy as they thought, and they begin to wonder how sound their own relationship is…

This Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy-drama by Donald Margolies exposes the same universal insecurities that people face every time there are shattering changes in their lives. “It is about the vulnerability everyone experiences…as the limits of one’s choices are more clearly defined.” (New York Times)

Gabe and Karen, a happily married middle-aged couple, have been friends with Tom and Beth, another married couple, for many years. In fact, it was Gabe and Karen who fixed up their friends in the first place. While having dinner at Gabe and Karen’s home one night, Beth tearfully reveals that she is getting a divorce from Tom, who has been unfaithful.

Tom now believes that Beth has unfairly presented herself as the wronged party, and feels he must present his own side of the story. Over the course of the play, we witness the effects of Tom and Beth’s breakup on Gabe and Karen, who first feel compelled to choose sides, and then begin to question the strength of their own seemingly tranquil marriage.

“…Margolies’ characters are smart and articulate, and his dialogue is convincingly realistic.” (Chris Rohmann)
