Cheating Cheaters
John Patrick


What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about this play. One reviewer indicates that it did not resonate with them personally.
John and Anne have two children and a good marriage—they have sex, drive hybrids, and recently, they cut out sugar.
But John has been spying on the neighbors, frankly, for a while now, and at 9 a.m, Halloween morning, the neighbors drop by for a visit.
THE CHEATS is a play about your marriage, and how it can get f*cked when you forget to lock the front door.
"…[a] wry new play…quietly hilarious…squirmingly astute…"
— Chicago Reader
"…an intriguing look at marriage…Linklater focuses on simple dialogue between his characters to pull the audience into their lives. …[In] a comic, almost Pinter-like manner, the nuances of his characters and their connection to one another reveal themselves…"
— Edge Media Network
"[A] Hollywood-scene Rear Window…There are many twists and turns in this plot and it’s a very good ride."
— L.A. Splash
