Paul and Linda Plan a Threesome

Saturday, May 2 • 7:00 PM & Sunday, May 3 • 2:00 PM
The Historic Market Hall 

A couple with their lives neatly sorted—successful, serious, and quietly bored—decide it’s time to “spice things up.” And because they’re those people, they approach a threesome the way they’d approach hosting: schedules, expectations, polite rules, maybe even a mental seating chart. Very civilized. Very controlled. Very doomed.

This staged reading takes that tidy plan and gleefully pulls the pin. What follows is sharp, chaotic, and unapologetically inappropriate—in the best way—with comedy that comes from watching two people try to manage desire like it’s a logistical problem.

It’s also more than just shock and laughs. Under the misfires and mortification is a surprisingly warm celebration of love—messy, complicated, and showing up in more forms than anyone intended when the “plan” began. The show was a sold-out, held-over hit at Stratford’s Here for Now Festival (2024), and it arrives with that same reputation: funny, fearless, and sneakily heartfelt.
