On the Fyda-Mar Stage… 

Paul and Marie wake in the morning, Marie makes coffee, black, Paul asks for sugar, Marie says the sugar is out of reach and they drink it black, Paul questions “do we drink it black because the sugar is out of reach or because we like it that way?” And so begins the daily routines of this long-married couple, filled with small quibbles, but an extraordinary amount of love, laughter, and memories. This hilarious and moving World Premiere play about love, aging, selfishness, and selflessness from Chance Theater’s 2011 Resident Playwright Adam Szymkowicz, is sure to resonate with audiences with its laughter and heart.

“Adam Szymkowicz, one of the leading theatrical voices of his generation, intertwines themes both humorous and mature together…”NY Press

“… this highly praised young playwright continues to be someone to watch…. engaging…fun with a satisfyingly intelligent underpinning. Sophisticated, but all of it comes from well-observed human truths.”TheatreMania
