HOW TO TRANSCEND A HAPPY MARRIAGE
At a dinner party in New Jersey, two couples discuss polyamory as brought up by the introduction of a new temp, Pip, in Jane’s office. When they invite Pip and her two male partners, discussion turns to action and the exploration of unexplored desire turns animalistic, and then Jane’s daughter sees it all. How to Transcend a Happy Marriage blurs the lines of monogamy and asks how deeply friends, lovers and strangers connect.
How To Transcend A Happy Marriage premiered at Lincoln Center Theater's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater in May 2017, directed by Rebecca Taichman, with set design by David Zinn, Costumes by Susan Hilferty, Lighting by Peter Kaczoroski, Sound by Matt Hubbs, and Original Music by Charles M. Turner III.
