Playwrights Horizons presents the New York premiere of Maple and Vine, a new play by Jordan Harrison, and directed by winner Anne Kauffman.
In the play, Katha (Marin Ireland) and Ryu (Louis Ozawa Changchien) have become allergic to their 21st-century lives. After they meet a charismatic man from a community of 1950s re-enactors, they forsake cell phones and sushi for cigarettes and Tupperware parties. In this compulsively authentic world, Katha and Ryu are surprised by what their new neighbors – and they themselves – are willing to sacrifice for happiness.
