About

Twenty scenes of domestic bizarrity will be performed in random order. With few words, Man and Woman must make life’s hardest choice through surreal humor, vulnerability, and grape eating contests.

Overview

Written by Natalie Scarlett It is theorized that 93% of communication between humans in non-verbal, and in domestic partnerships avoiding words is often a good idea. In The Eggplant, and Other Domestic Incidents our two characters explore different choices and their consequences every night. The twenty scenes will be ordered by the audience pulling them from a hat as they enter so every night a new narrative is woven by the sequence. Many scenes are relatable, others other-worldly and surreal while a few scenes deal in symbolic gesture and others in age-old squabbles. With an effervescent sense of humor, a healthy dose of humanity, and a touch of the absurd, this play asks questions about love, anxiety, and the future with audacious honesty.
