Program Notes
Against his better judgment, married Erland has fallen in love with his best friendís wife. His rational solution is for all four to move in together until the passion inevitably subsides. Thereís bound to be hurt feelings and passive aggression, but with discipline, everyone can rise above it. But what began as the logical remedy snowballs into a messy romantic free-for-all, until nothing is rational at all. Insightfully observed and superbly acted, Jorgen Bergmarkís tragicomic tour de force mimics his charactersí own journey, beginning as simple and ordered, only to mature into a nuanced, heartbreakingly authentic portrait of love, fidelity, marriage, monogamy, and human beingsí foolhardy compulsion to think they can control any of it.
Expected to be in attendance: Director Jorgen Bergmark
