Out of the City
Leslie Ayvazian
It should be a week full of wine, wit and relaxation.
However Jill s husband doesn t show up at a lakeside vacation house and instead of a holiday, the happily married Mark & Shelly are offered an intimate view of their friend s erratic behavior as she tries to cope.
The lake is serene but in the house old passions bubble to the surface in this dramedy about the limits of friendship and marriage.
"…solid, craftsmanlike playwriting at its finest. Beautifully written.” —Variety. “[A] warm, wise comedy. So refreshing!” —Chicago Tribune. ”WITH AND WITHOUT is superbly well-wrought. All about language, limits and responsibility, Sweet's play sparkles with smart irony.“ —Houston Press. ”…It's rare to witness a play in which everything works so naturally and inevitably. The evening is just a glory from its first moment to the last.“ —Copley News Service. ”Savvy playwright Jeffrey Sweet handles this steamy story and the situational ethics with maturity and wisdom. Sensitive and sage."
— Chicago Reader
With And Without is a American comedy play written by Jeffrey Sweet and published by Dramatists Play Service in New York, N.Y. (440 Park Ave. S., New York 10016) (1998).
