The Meaning of Wife:
a comedy about who gets hitched these days
and what the hell they're thinking
the promo
the piece
Boston-area comedian Erin Judge
(Comedy Central's Live at Gotham)
teams up with Ailin Conant
(Artistic Director of Theatre Temoin) for this hilarious examination of
contemporary marriage.
Erin and Ailin have been
friends (and sometimes, ahem,
more than friends)
since college.
Now in their mid-twenties, these two women both find themselves in the unexpected
position of being somebody's wife. Ailin also HAS a wife (which is pretty confusing for people's
grandmothers), while Erin has a husband, matching towels, and a
huge white dress
that she has justifed holding on to by doing this show.
The Meaning of Wife is part sketch
comedy, part public relations campaign, and all
way too much information about Erin and Ailin.
This funny and brutally
honest piece
explores what
marriage looks like in some of its newest manifestations
(read: gay ones) and its most traditional (read: a white dude and a white chick), and what
every kind of marriage has to teach us all about what it means to be a wife.
