Mating in Captivity

“We’re children, Annie. We’re just very tall infants. We have no idea what we’re doing. Look at us! We’re bewildered.”

It’s Annie and Rob’s wedding night. It’s also the homecoming of Rob’s old flame, Jacob, and he’s got his own ideas about how to have and to hold. When Jacob somehow manages to wangle a night at Rob’s place — where the newlyweds plan to seal their vows — a hilariously outrageous clash of expectations ensues. Skeletons are dragged kicking and screaming from closets, trust is lost and gained, and the true limits of millennial love are put to the test.

A modern-day twist on the Hollywood screwball comedy films of the 1930s, this raucous and unashamedly earnest play strips the covers on marriage, and asks how much you can really know about yourself if you’ve never tried butt stuff.
