Lips Together Teeth Apart

Lips Together Teeth Apart

Bay Theatre Company
275 West St Annapolis

The title refers to how to fall asleep without grinding your teeth at night, an affliction shared by two local New York couples. These neurotic New Yorkers spend a holiday weekend at a recently inherited luxury beach-house on Fire Island . Their vacation paradise is flawed by love triangle involvements, dealings with illness, and sister Sally’s search for answers. Described by New York Times critic Frank Rich as a comedy “in three concurrently funny and melancholy acts,” and “a play with real teeth and equally penetrating compassion,” McNally’s play reveals the difficulty of finding love in any variety.
