BOSTON MARRIAGE

by David Mamet

Directed by Devon Sereda Goldie

A sparkling turn-of-the-century comedy of manners by David Mamet, Boston Marriage follows Anna and Claire, two sharp-tongued “women of fashion” whose secret domestic partnership defies social convention.

When Anna accepts a dazzling emerald necklace from a wealthy patron, her newfound independence threatens Claire’s quiet control. Sparks fly further when Claire’s infatuation with a younger woman entangles them both in a web of jealousy, secrecy, and scandal.

Mamet’s first play written exclusively for women shatters period norms with razor-sharp dialogue and uproarious wit.

At once a celebration of female partnership, a bold exploration of queer desire, and a critique of rigid social hierarchies, Boston Marriage delivers a fresh, fiercely entertaining portrait of women and queer lives on the verge of transformation.
