"A really interesting look at the evolution of long-term friendships and marriages and about the unraveling of these. It's funny how in friendships and relationships, when things are PERFECT, you think it'll go on forever, but situations can turn very quickly and that's what this is about - impermanence."
"I think seeing this as a play would have been better. The intracaticies of 2 couples relationships were laid bare for all to see, for better for worse. Some of it was endearing and some of it very sad. It make me think about what it means to have a successful relationship, what it takes to have one, and more importantly, the variety of definitions of "successful"."
"Two sets of friends in their 40s - Gabe and Karen (who love to cook), and Tom and Beth. When one couple splits, there is sadness, anger, alliances are made, rethought. This interesting play has moments of both drama and humor, and it examines just how friendships and marriages are forged, and how they are damaged. Believable characters and thought-provoking dialog."
"I love reading plays. I love how much I have read plays in the past few years - my binge of classics for AP English senior year; 21st Century American Drama a play-reading heaven my first semester here. And now playwriting, a class I thought would be solely focused on exercises, again assigns me a play a week - YES! They go by so quickly, and a good play is incredibly satisfying and comic in a way that few (if any) novels achieve.
This was such a blast to read, because there was none of the pretentious nonsense that I encountered so often last semester; it was purely sharp, snappy dialogue, and it depicted relationships that were real and honest and worth watching. Margulies also wove food into the frame of this play in such an incredible, subtle way, and as a girl that loves to get her munch on, I couldn't have appreciated it more.
This has me even more scared about things that have always terrified me - marriage, kids, and mid-life crises - but it had me chuckling and page-turning and not-dreading homework, so I'm willing to be afraid, if it means I have this as a reference."
