Adult Relationships
November 1-21

A dark comedy that starts at a wake and ends with a cough, Adult Relationships follows two former lovers brought together by the death of a troubled mutual friend. Grief and mourning infuse this mostly naturalistic play, a sense of guilt lingers at the periphery. In seeking to understand the person they’ve both lost—alternately threatening and capable of extraordinary empathy—the central characters look to rituals that come from their respective faiths, Judaism and Islam, pulling the story into the surreal through choreography. Density, difference, danger, possibility. Dark, but a comedy.

With additional support from Clubbed Thumb, made possible by Venturous Theater Fund of the Tides Foundation.

Online ticket sales will stop two hours before each performance, at 5:30 pm.

For all sold out performances, there will be a waiting list: first come first serve, in person, at the box office. Box office will open 30 minutes before each performance. Door tickets are $30 and will be payable by cash or Venmo.
