Two Roads Theatre presents A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Divorce. World Premiere engagement of a new comedy. Written by Jeff Gould. Directed by Marc Antonio Pritchett. Presented by SkyPilot Theatre Company.

Three couples, each intent on getting divorced, find themselves sharing the same meeting room waiting for the same divorce mediator. Once, each of these couples were in love. What happened to bring each of them to this point? While they're waiting, Brian and Carol, Doug and Angie, and Ken and Tanya share their stories of love that went wrong. Their tales are by turns hilarious and heartbreaking.

What will happen when the mediator finally arrives?

Jeff Gould is the playwright. He has specialized in comedies about sex and marriage. His previous plays include Troubled Waters, It's Just Sex, Is There Sex After Marriage?, and The Marriage Zone.
