HACKETTSTOWN "You May Go Now: A Marriage Play," a dark comic mystery by Rebekah Brunstetter.
The marriage in Marriage Play is not a bad marriage, he says, 'except for what's happening'.
In 1992-93, the Signature Theatre Company in New York performed a season of Albee's lesser-known plays, including The Marriage Play, Finding the Sun, Listening and Fragments.
Mr. Albee also spent two days as a Belknap Visitor at Princeton in 1991 and directed "Marriage Play" at the McCarter in 1992.

It's not an edifying fable about gender roles or sexual politics, or a tragedy of clueless, randy youth (like Wedekind's earlier "Spring Awakening"), or even at heart a marriage play, though four marriages go bad in it.
During his long exile from American success, he wrote and directed plays for the English-language theatre in Vienna, where Marriage Play (1987) and Three Tall Women began, the latter eventually triggering his renaissance.
Marriage Play and Finding the Sun, both directed by Anthony Page, who was responsible for his two recent London hits Three Tall Women and A Delicate Balance, are peopled by Albee's people.
In 2001, Finding the Sun and The Marriage Play were remounted at the National Theatre, directed by Page - giving Albee's "late career renaissance another boost", as critic Matt Woolf observed.
