Synopsis: Farce / 6m, 5f / 2 Interiors / This delightful look at modern marriage in all its marred majesty had them rolling in the aisles at its premier in New Jersey. Narrated by a jaded bachelor who knows the bloom inevitably leaves the rose, the play opens with a pristine view of marriage: a wedding album slide show of the weddings of four happy couples. The images are quickly supplanted by the reality of the couples' eroding relationships. By the time all four couples repair to a Vermont country inn, their marriages are in an advanced state of disrepair. There doesn't seem to be a happy ending in sight, but the ending is full of surprises. The dialogue is sprinkled liberally with hilarious gags in this comedy about the dark side of marriage.
