How to Transcend a Happy Marriage (Tcg Edition)
Sarah Ruhl
(Author)Description
"This new play is a subversive enchantment. It is part absurd domestic seriocomedy, part erotic magic realism, unflinching about taboos and about questioning that, just maybe, monogamy isn't enough." --Linda Winer, Newsday
Over dinner with another married couple, George and her husband grow fascinated by stories of their friends' new acquaintance--an intriguing younger woman named Pip. What begins as an innocent intellectual discussion turns into a sexually explosive New Year's Eve party after George extends an invitation to Pip and her two live-in boyfriends, raising the question: What ultimately binds human beings together?
