Marriage.
It is a fifty/fifty roll of the dice that it will succeed (and I am unsure how to define, 'succeed.').
So, if half of the pairings end up in divorce, what about they who stay together? Are they happy? Or are they obligated to it because of family, religion, society, children, and so forth?
The ones who stay together, are they still in love? Or have they learned how to 'manage' their relationship, which sounds a bit corporate? And after 10, 20, 30 years, what is the nature of their love (another word I ache to define)?
Or are the couples that remain merely lazy, co-dependent, comfortable enough, or scared of change? I do not have any answers. Just questions.
Friends for years, they dine together often. They are in their mid-forties, a potentially precarious time for many marriages.
One couple is amid dissolution.
The other couple, their friends, are apparently happy and cheery and do all their chores together.
But each couple, as the separation plays out, is affected in their singular way.
And within the two duos exist two distinct individuals, husband and wife, each retaining their own perceptions of what is going on between themselves and with their friends, the faltering pair.
A stellar play with crackling dialogue.
