After 30 years of marriage, a man tells his wife that he is going to leave her. Unperturbed by his declaration, the wife responds mockingly, so he tries again, and again. Edward Albee’s Marriage Play follows Jack and Gillian, the soon-to-be-divorced couple, as they reminisce about the various phases of their relationship—affection, passion, betrayal, and neglect—culminating in a critical look at the institution of marriage and life’s overall purpose. The play is a joint production from Charlottesville Players Guild and Hamner Theater.
