This production runs in rep with The Internationalist and Fat Pig at the Steppenwolf Garage.

As the play begins, Marnie, Melissa, and Linda are best friends, and they are ALL getting married. Cut to the next scene at Marnie’s bachelorette party, and only Marnie and Linda are getting married. Linda is drunk. They are all drunk, but Linda is very drunk. Then they meet Frank and Eddie. Frank and Eddie are cute. Frank is very cute. Frank and Marnie start kissing. Melissa is angry. As the city tilts around them they begin to lose the grip on the delicate balance they have created between themselves; Marnie realizing she can’t be who she thought she was, and Melissa finding that fact to be unacceptable. Linda is... still drunk.
