Nico and Matt are fine- or so they’d say to anyone asking about their marriage. And that’s true…but less “fine wine” and more “It was fine, but I probably wouldn’t eat there again.” The decision to open their marriage starts an effort to save their relationship, but as they queer the boundaries of their marriage it forces them to question what it means to queer your life.

A Third Way has been workshopped through Working Title Playwright’s Ethel Woolson Lab and was selected for Alabama Shakespeare’s 2023 Southern Writers Festival.
