At the center of this play is a family drama involving infidelity, both physical and intellectual. The marriage between two college professors hits a rough patch; while she’s in Gender Studies at Yale, he had to take a teaching job at a nearby inferior school and is perceived as an academic failure. The wife (who was inaudibly quiet, unfortunately, save for a pivotal midnight outburst) is uncompromising in her extremism and morally blind to alternative views—not to mention selfishly unaware of her husband’s sacrifices. As her husband searches for authenticity, she accuses him of losing his soul. In the world of identity politics, a sex affair is not grounds for divorce, but changing your political beliefs is.
