Alumni Laura Jacqmin’s play “A THIRD” will premiere at Finborough Theatre in London this July! If your are in the UK, check it out! Congrats Laura!
SYNOPSIS of the Play:
“We just want a third. And that third is going to be there for us. Not an equal: just there for us. For whatever we want him to do.”
The world premiere of A Third by award-winning Chicago playwright Laura Jacqmin runs at the Finborough Theatre for twelve performances, on Sunday and Monday evenings and Tuesday matinees.
Young marrieds Paul and Allison have everything going for them. They have money, they’re in love, and their sex life is great. But could it be better? Instead of being monogamous, why not try “monogam-ish”? What would happen if they invited “a third” into their bedroom and into their lives?
Allison and Paul convince themselves that they are being just about as liberal and adventurous as modern society seems to want. But as they transition from threesomes to couple-swapping, they discover the fragility of their own liberal attitudes. Just how flexible can one person’s sexuality truly be? And how far can “monogam-ish” go before it’s simply cheating? Can a couple go back to simply being a couple?
A funny, provocative and unflinching look at modern attitudes to sex, relationships and polyamorous love.
COME SEE IT!
