AMERICAN PREMIERE
JULY 11 - JULY 29

We are in a fog.
   In it, a room of today hangs expectant.
   Preparations for a small wedding ...
   The dramatic, introductory music to “Casablanca” plays as we see ...

... So sets the scene for A Wedding Story, an exuberantly funny and elegantly moving look at unconditional love:

Sally, a single woman, perceives marriage as a sacrifice akin to a prison term – she runs screaming from anything that smacks of a long-term commitment. Her parents have a loving relationship – their “theme movie” is Casablanca. But now her mom’s health is failing and her dad cannot keep up. Meanwhile, Sally meets Grace in a bathroom stall at a wedding and what started as a one night stand is quickly spiraling out of control – Sally’s once organized and temperate life has become a passion-filled whirlwind!

Earning raves in London, Stageworks’ new production marks A Wedding Story’s American premiere.

“A moving play about marriage and the nature of love... with its mix of comedy, tragedy, movie culture and popular song ... Lavery is riding the crest of a wave.”            -THE GUARDIAN (London)

Bryony Lavery received Tony nomination and the TMA Award for her play, Frozen.
