Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Dennis Snee
Till Death Do Us Part
by Billy Van Zandt, Jane Milmore
Highlights
Synopsis
This delightful look at modern marriage in all its marred majesty had them rolling in the aisles at its premier in New Jersey.
Narrated by a jaded bachelor who knows the bloom inevitably leaves the rose, the play opens with a pristine view of marriage: a wedding album slide show of the weddings of four happy couples.
The images are quickly supplanted by the reality of the couples' eroding relationships.
By the time all four couples repair to a Vermont country inn, their marriages are in an advanced state of disrepair.
There doesn't seem to be a happy ending in sight, but the ending is full of surprises.
The dialogue is sprinkled liberally with hilarious gags in this comedy about the dark side of marriage.
Press Reviews
"A rapid-fire …funny endeavor. What a great idea!"
— Two River Times
"The traditional wedding vow is blasted asunder in ‘Till Death Do Us Part. Swooningly romantic couples amorous affectations become the stuff of deadly alienation through these goofy vignettes."
— News Tribune
"A sex farce sprinkled liberally with truth. This tightly written comedy is packed with hilarious dialogue and side-splitting sight gags."
— Asbury Park Press
