Yours Unfaithfully at Mint Theater Company

For Yours Unfaithfully, a New York Times Critic's Pick, Mint Artistic Director Jonathan Bank directed a cast that featured Todd Cerveris, Mikaela Izquierdo, Elisabeth Gray, Stephen Schnetzer, and 2015 Tony & Drama Desk Award nominee, Max von Essen (An American In Paris). Alexis Soloski, writing in The New York Times said "Yours Unfaithfully, Miles Malleson's 1933 play, now receiving its world premiere at the Mint Theater, is a refined, rueful and often shrewd comedy about polyamory, written decades before open relationships were quite so openly discussed. In some ways, it's surprising that it went unproduced for so long. Its subject is no more scandalous than those of several plays by George Bernard Shaw or Harley Granville Barker, another Mint favorite. Yours Unfaithfully is both a daring play and a highly conventional one. Under the polished direction of Jonathan Bank, and in the hands of a fine team of designers, its arguments remain provocative, while its structure feels familiar, its tone decorous. MAYbe that only makes it more unusual. It's a bit like a sex farce with real sorrow instead of slammed doors, and something like a drawing room comedy with moral conundrums peeking out beneath the cushions. It is often very funny; it is also very nearly a tragedy."
