Fifty Words by Mitch and Murray Productions at The Cultch

Marriage is a favourite topic of playwrights everywhere: after True Love Lies, which examined the marriage of a formerly and maybe still gay man and a heterosexual woman, The Cultch presents a new play on the topic starting tomorrow: Fifity Words by Michael Weller.
In “Fifty Words”, something’s gone awry behind the idyllic facade of Jan and Adam’s Brooklyn brownstone. At 9:10 p.m., they’re reveling in the freedom of having waved off their young son, Greg, to a neighborhood sleepover. By 9:30 p.m., things have gone, well. . .way past awry. Alternately funny and frightening, “Fifty Words” is an expansive look at modern marriage, as seen through the looking glass of one couple’s long night’s journey into day.
The performance runs from October 27th to November 5th with a preview performance tonight (October 26th) at 8PM for 18$.
The Cultch always puts on a great show and the space is simply incredible.
What: Fifty Words by Michael Weller
When: October 27th to November 5th
