“I mean, this is not the man who once stood outside my apartment window and serenaded me with a guitar, all right?”

Synopsis

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Qualms and Clybourne Park. Politician Bill Pulver faces the cameras to stumble his way through a carefully crafted apology as his wife Judy stands stoically behind him…. but what is she REALLY thinking? We are about to find out in Bruce Norris’s wickedly funny, unpredictable play about a marriage burst apart by a sex scandal. This scathing, wildly entertaining play investigates gender politics, modern marriage and the sexual mysteries of the animal kingdom.
