3 Male 2 Female
After they meet a charismatic man from a community of 1950s re-enactors, they forsake cell phones and sushi for cigarettes and Tupperware parties
In this compulsively authentic world, Katha and Ryu are surprised by what their new neighbors - and they themselves - are willing to sacrifice for happiness
"Piquantly funny, cleverly executed and darkly playful" ~ The New York Times
"Jordan Harrison's Maple and Vine does everything a good play should do. It entertains. It makes you think ... 1950s conformity may not differ much from 2011s, but at least we have our conveniences. Harrison makes you weigh the costs and benefits of both eras without hitting you over the head with his own conclusion. You will enjoy reaching your own" ~ Theatre Louisville
