Synopsis
You are cordially invited to the best day of someone else's life… but what if it's also the worst day of yours?
Join Carlo as she attempts to make it through the night without drinking too much, talking too much, or trying to win back the bride.
Bryna Turner's bittersweet play , a laugh-out-loud comedy that nonetheless addresses some big issues, is for anyone who has ever attended a wedding... or had their heart broken.
Press Reviews
"★★★★ “Whimsical... laughter constantly flows, quite often outrageously so, through 70 lively minutes."
— New York Stage Review
"Bitterly funny... wisecracking and wisdom-sharing about the unbreakable bond between love and pain... there's a fun time to be had at this wedding."
— New York Theatre Guide
"Fresh and trenchant... The lines are funny; Turner has a boxer’s sense of the two-punch rhythm of jokes... Authorial patience is part of what makes At the Wedding so fresh; though there are plenty of one-liners, it is not a yuk-yuk comedy foisting its laughs at you or over-signaling its intentions... Also revivifying is the way Turner reshapes the wedding genre for our time, inviting new characters to the party."
— The New York Times
"Brutally hilarious!"
— TheaterMania
