Learning a new term: Boston Marriage

Linda and I returned to the Viking Theatre to see David Mamet's play, Boston Marriage. The talented folks at Theater... for a change again put on a quality production at Grandview's Viking Theater. Unbeknown to us, the title of the production has, for over one hundred years, been used to describe a romantic friendship shared by two women. As such, the play presents events that take place over a day or two in the life of two women in such an arrangement and their maid. The crux of the story has to do with relationships they each have outside the home and how, when those relationships collide, it could threaten the stability of the home. It was an interesting and entertaining play; I'm sure we'll be back.
