Relationship banter consumes much of the first act, a humorous back and forth, poking fun in a way that’s only possible with those closest to you. Littered inbetween is consideration of issues like porn, sex work, misogyny and baby names. Foreshadowing of something more unnerving builds.  Act two launches us into the crux of the action.
