Duo: 1 Is 1 ; 2 Is Math.' ...The 'I Do I Do' for the new century. The story follows a couple from their first meeting (played by Chicago veterans Suzanne Petri and Roger Anderson) through their marriage. A Union filled with the ups and downs of their relationship as they move through their life together, growing, moving, changing, through difficult times and life's lessons until they discover 'Why We Stuck.' They are funny and moving and human. This sophisticated yet approachable play, directed by Steppenwolf ensemble member, Robert Breuler, is filled with new and affecting music composed by Elizabeth Doyle. 'Duo' is a new work that appeals to everyone from the young couples starting out to couples that are in the middle years-the difficult time in a relationship that is everyday yet long lasting. The story comes alive with insight, intelligence and wit. This is a staged reading and the producers, SuzBo Entertainment welcome suggested donations and feedback is strongly encouraged. A reception with refreshment will follow immediately after the reading.
