Theatre B presents ‘Perfect Arrangement’
PERFECT ARRANGEMENT
by Topher Payne
It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover.
Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two “All-American” couples are forced to stare down the closet door.
Performances:
Fridays at 7:30 pm: February 20, 27, March 6
Saturdays at 7:30 pm: February 21, 28, March 7
Sundays at 2:00 pm: February 22, March 1 & 8
Sunday Salon and ASL Performance: Sunday, March 7
“As hiding gets harder, pitch-perfect comedy ensues: slamming doors, strange disguises, preposterous excuses [….] Eventually, the four must decide whether face-saving domestic lies are worth it, or whether ostracism beats living in fear. In our own era of surveillance and paranoia, their mid-century problems don’t feel so far away.” – The New Yorker
“This is truly what a play should be. Thought-provoking, but with loads of laughs, this terrific show strikes the perfect balance between harsh social criticism and comedy.” – Triangle Arts & Entertainment
