This brilliantly clever and rhythmic play, by multi-award winning playwright David Mamet, leads us into the world of two surly old friends living on society's fringe. As they articulate their skewed perceptions of love and gender roles, the language ignites into delightful and deliciously vicious banter. The plot twists and turns as we witness their jealousy, fear, and desperation for love.
The cast of Boston Marriage features company members Tracey Coppedge and Lenore Field with guest artist Lakeisha Coffey, and will be directed by guest artist Jay O'Berski.
