Art of Leaving, a new comedy by Anne Marilyn Lucas, offers a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud exploration of modern love and the evolving meaning of marriage. Inspired by Lucas’s own experiences and described as A Doll’s House meets Neil Simon, the play follows three couples — in their 20s, 50s, and 70s — who find themselves at a family crossroads. Each generation brings a wildly different vision of what marriage should look like, from lifelong commitment to open partnerships, sparking a hilarious tangle of misunderstandings and revelations. At the center is Diana, a lifelong people-pleaser, and her husband Aaron, an ardent follower of a self-help guru whose bestselling book Male Satisfaction Over 40 urges men to reclaim their so-called masculinity. As love, freedom, and identity are put to the test, Art of Leaving delivers a sharp, funny, and deeply human look at what we risk by holding on — and what we discover by letting go.
