Description
“This new play is a subversive enchantment. It is part absurd domestic seriocomedy, part erotic magic realism, unflinching about taboos and about questioning that, just maybe, monogamy isn’t enough.” —Linda Winer, Newsday
Over dinner with another married couple, George and her husband grow fascinated by stories of their friends’ new acquaintance—an intriguing younger woman named Pip. What begins as an innocent intellectual discussion turns into a sexually explosive New Year’s Eve party after George extends an invitation to Pip and her two live-in boyfriends, raising the question: What ultimately binds human beings together?

Reviews
"Another delicious romp by Sarah Ruhl. This time following the adventures of two happily married couples who are drawn into a sexual orgy by some mysterious strangers. Who are they anyway? Gods, mortals, or birds? And where are they? In their living room or a forest? These questions are raised with such wit and grace, the audience sprouts wings as well, ending the show with a blizzard of feathers and cheers."- Tina Howe, playwright, Coastal Disturbances, Birth and After Birth
"Sarah Ruhl is an inspiration and a hero."- Jonathan Safran Foer
"Ms. Ruhl is one of the most gifted American playwrights... Her imagination is among the most adventurous at play today in the theater."- Charles Isherwood, New York Times
"Sarah Ruhl is wise, funny, brilliant, and wild—among our very best playwrights. 'Coming 'Round the Mountain' as a song will never be the same."- Rivka Galchen, professor, Columbia Univ., author, Little Labors
