Two Nights out of Bed
4/05/2022 - 7/05/2022 7pm - 9:30pm
Guild Theatre, level 1, Union House
UMSU Union House Theatre
Presented by Four Letter Word Theatre
A story in two parts, the play dives headfirst into the concept of polyamorous relationships and explores all relationships intertwined.
All of these characters have gone through tough emotional trauma but have survived, and they are afraid of losing something ideal with what they have found. This is something to be found in every type of relationship, accentuated by this specific dynamic.
The work is a modern problem play, both a chamber play as well as a comedy. Its story is one of being queer, the families we build around us, hopes and fears of the future, millennial discomfort, and the expectations of partnerships.
