"An idea-inebriated comedy from the adventurous author of In the Next Room, or the Vibrator Play." -- The New York Times "Sarah Ruhl tackles the polyamorous in her brilliant new play and finds love, beauty, and music." -- The Wrap Over dinner with another married couple, George and her husband grow fascinated by stories of their friends' new acquaintance-an intriguing younger woman named Pip, who is both polyamorous and hunts her own meat. What be- gins as an innocent intellectual discussion turns into a sexually explosive New Year's Eve party after George extends an invitation to Pip and her two live-in boyfriends. Raising the question of what ultimately binds human beings together, Sarah Ruhl's How to Transcend a Happy Marriage is a transformative and provocative new drama. Sarah Ruhl's other plays include the Pulitzer Prize finalists In the Next Room (or the vibrator play) and The Clean House , as well as For Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday, Stage Kiss, Passion Play, Dead Man's Cell Phone, Demeter in the City, Eurydice, Melancholy Play , and Late: a cowboy song . She is the recipient of a Whiting Writers' Award, a PEN/Laura Pels Award, and a MacArthur Fellowship. Her plays have premiered on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and in many theaters around the world.
