Polylogues is a funny, interview-based solo show that explores nonmonogamy-and love in all its forms. Writer/performer Xandra Clark forges a living polyamorous community on the stage with a diverse set of voices-from a senior citizen who's been poly for decades, a child worried about her open parents to conservative evangelical swingers, Polylogues examines the boundaries, desires, and fears of love in the 21st century.
