"Two sets of friends in their 40s - Gabe and Karen (who love to cook), and Tom and Beth. When one couple splits, there is sadness, anger, alliances are made, rethought. This interesting play has moments of both drama and humor, and it examines just how friendships and marriages are forged, and how they are damaged. Believable characters and thought-provoking dialog." — Sherry (4 out of 5 stars)

" Listened to a performance of this play and was caught up with the characters right away. "
" is this what they call chick lit? "
" Dramatic, emotional. "
" One of those failing marriage plays. However, here the audience is shown how the fail marriage affects friendship and another couple's relationship. Not bad if slightly familiar. "
" the grass is always greener. really, it is. "
" The characters were slightly annoying but the conversations were realistic. I especially liked the ending. "
" Not a perfect play, but it BROKE me. I swear to god, I was working at the bookstore and had to sit down on the floor behind the counter and cry. (Insert PMS joke here) "
" Excellent. If plays aren't supossed to provide answers but only more questions, this one's aces. Deals very painfully and accurately with the question of responsibility to one's self versus responsibility to friends and family. "
" Donald Margulies' best play. "
" I can't wait for middle-age so that I can be in this play. "
" we're rich we have issues we live on the east coast blah blah blah "
" On of my favorite plays! A good read! "
" One of my favorite plays. "
" Only Margulies I don't much care for... "
" Really well written. The play is profound in how realy and non-monumental or profound the characters and their lives are. I was okay after reading it, but it has stayed with me. "
" This one will stay on "currently reading" for a while as it is the next show that I am doing. I'll be playing Karen, even though I am much more of a Beth, because I present as a Karen. Love this play. "
