THURBER’S RELATIONSHIP STORIES

A period show based on nine short stories by the marvelous James Thurber. The show is comprised of eight vignettes that revolve around the trials and tribulations of married life: the flailing Mr. Monroe attempts to valiantly fight a bat in order to impress his off-stage wife, a silent couple have vivid imaginary arguments spurred by a magazine advice column, a wife drags her husband to divorce court because his habit of holding his breath is driving her crazy as he “looks like a perfectly swollen eye-popping goop”…and on….The scenes range in mood and style, mirroring Thurber’s ability to paint pictures both funny and touching, outlandish and true.

Preformed with “Word-Horde” as the first part of 2 in 1 in Season 1 and 3

and performed with “> Cinderella” during our 10th season.
