The More Loving One

In this production directed by Craig Baldwin (Associate Artistic Director of Red Bull Theater) and designed by Dane Laffrey (Roundabout’s Tigers Be Still), twenty-something newlyweds Matt (David Beck, On a Bench at 59E59) and Lauren (Adriana DeGirolami, upcoming film “Drinking Games” dir. Ryan Gielen) get caught in the crossfire of their friend’s explosive underage sex trial, while navigating their own issues, big and small – how to start a family, personal betrayal, and their mutual hatred of track pants. Meanwhile, their German grad-school roommate Heinrich (Jimmy Davis, the recent Broadway production of The House of Blue Leaves) plans a sudden marriage proposal to his longtime boyfriend Henry (Preston Martin, Liz Swados’s Kaspar Hauser). Set in a small university town in the midst of combustive social change, The More Loving One is a timely and sensitive comic drama about the limits – and possibilities – of marriage.
