WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Charles, a retired classics professor, and his wife, Helen, are back in the apartment they shared for their entire married lives. They quietly reaffirm their deep affection for each other, the life they've shared, its delights and disappointments, as they toast their commitment.
In a similar apartment, a much younger couple unpacks from an exhilarating trip to Greece. They settle into an empty apartment, eager to begin their new life together. Over the course of the play, two quiet, intimate evenings unfold, where the lives of two couples are irrevocably changed.

RE:Exit/Entrance
This is one of those plays where one is still digesting the dialogue, well after it has been spoken. The conversations seem to be discontinuous and somewhat random and I found trying to interpret what the characters were saying or meaning rather difficult. It was definitely necessary to read a synopsis of the play before attending and this says something about the structure of the play that it was not obvious from the dialogue what, exactly was happening or would happen.
The acting was excellent from an experienced and very competent cast.
It is without doubt a show which will leave you thinking after you leave.
I do not want to spoil the enjoyment of those who will attend but I dont think that the thumbnail description above really tells what the real point of the play is, especially the first act.

Few plays in recent years have dared to tackle a subject so deep and broad as the emotional commitment two people make to one another over a lifetime. Exit/Entrance, a shimmering play by Aidan Mathews now at 59E59 Theaters as part of the 1st Irish Festival, takes a piercingly heartbreaking and completely honest look at one couple's journey in one of this season's first wonderful plays.
True to its title, the play begins at the end as an elderly and quietly shattered couple spends their last day on earth together in an uneasy balance of memory and ritual. Charles (Greg Mullavey) is a retired professor in failing health. His wife, Helen (Linda Thorson), is brittle and nearly broken, having h[...]
