How to Transcend a Happy Marriage
Paperback £18.99
A deliciously adventurous play that confronts the question of whether monogamy is enough to ensure a happy marriage.
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?
Sarah Ruhl's play How to Transcend a Happy Marriage was first staged at Lincoln Center, Off-Broadway, in March 2017.
'A subversive enchantment... part absurd domestic seriocomedy, part erotic magic realism, unflinching about taboos and about questioning that, just maybe, monogamy isn't enough'
Newsday'Ms. Ruhl is one of the most gifted American playwrights… Her imagination is among the most adventurous at play today in the theater'
