From the moment Imogen sets eyes on Bernhard in an Oxford lecture theatre, she is certain this is Love. An evolutionary psychologist with a passion for existentialism, Einstein and Anavastha – what more could an economics graduate wish for? Theirs would be a marriage of oil and water, moral dualism, and year after glorious year of intellectual discussions in their divine Berlin apartment. A critical marriage – indispensable, essential and crafted with the most noble of intentions – that would leave Imogen wanting for nothing, her questions answered. But Mutti’s memories are disturbing. The letter is disquieting. And what of the fox, fur brilliant, eyes searching, who persists in slinking out of the shadows and into their world?
The inaugural winner of The Amethyst Award, The Critical Marriage by Mark Andrew is a compelling new play about the future of humanity, the choices humans make, and the love, laughter and dreams that allow us to draw our maps to the future.
