Cathy is a stand up comedian in a creative slump and Peter is a doctor at a community clinic. They've been married for eighteen years but it feels like five hundred and couples therapy isn't helping. They seem bound for heartache when an intimate and sobering encounter with someone else forces them to recognize the fragile foundations that their life is built on. Careening between hilarity and disaster, this play is a naked examination of marriage, middle age, and the delicate nature of change.
Kristen Thomson, who starred in Volcano Theatre's critically-acclaimed Another Africa at Canadian Stage in 2011, teams up again with collaborator Chris Abraham of Crow’s Theatre, our newest Berkeley Street Partner.
