The Betrothed

As Simon’s flight descends over the Old Country his mind swirls between his home in Pittsburgh and the beautiful woman he imagines waiting for him among the cow patties. Betrothed from birth, he has waited thirty long years to meet his beloved. Upon arrival, his fantasies of finding the perfect wife spar against old crones, morally ambiguous clergymen, deceitful babies, and barnyard animals. Here, Simon must navigate a world where murder, ghostly possession, and rampant cuckoldry are everyday realities and ‘meeting your match’ takes on an entirely different meaning. The Betrothed is a comedy that exists between desire and death, dream and reality, life and the afterlife. It is a play with music.
