- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I missed the chance to see this play, performed and directed by some very talented friends, a few years ago. But recently, at my acting class, the teacher handed me a monologue from the show. Intrigued, I decided to tackle some of the material as a monologue piece.
There are two married couples in the story who are close friends. But when one of the couples divorces, the friendship is thrown for a loop and the intact couple must confront some of the more unpleasant of life's realities.
The issues dealt with here are universal to marriage, aging, and friendship. But they're dealt with so deftly and sensitively that nothing ever feels cliched. I'd welcome any chance to see it performed or to perform in it. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The story follows two married couples in their 40s. Gabe and Karen, happily married with kids, and Tom and Beth, who are in the midst of getting a divorce. The play paints an intimate portrait of marriage and friendship. The play is really well done, giving glimpses of each of the characters' true feelings, which aren't always pretty.
