Kin
Anna, an Ivy League poetry scholar, and Sean, an Irish personal trainer, hardly seem destined for one another

The play sheds a sharp light on the changing face of kinship in the expansive landscape of the modern world

It's dusk. Mother and father are in their bedroom, dressing in preparation for Parents' Evening at their only daughter's primary school
During this rare opportunity to check in, the couple embarks on a volatile, passionate and surprising confrontation that challenges every one of their life choices
A painfully witty, perceptive exploration of the landlines of parenting in modern marriage
The Mystery of Love and Sex
Charlotte and Jonny definitely love each other
But not that way
Or maybe that way
They're in college and have been close friends since they were nine
They might be in love
They might be moving in together
They might even be getting married
Or they might not
Also, Charlotte wonders if she might be gay
Or maybe bisexual
As does Jonny
So why are they turning their relationship romantic?
