Where’s My Money ?

Comedy for 6 characters (3 men, 3 women).

Marriage and its discontents are the subject of Where’s my money ?

When Celeste, an out-of-work actor who’s cheating on her boyfriend with a married man, runs into Natalie, whom she hasn’t seen in years, the two have some catching up to do. Natalie, an accountant married to a lawyer, gives the impression of being very together and does not approve of Celeste’s lifestyle. “I don’t know any other way to put this,” she tells her. “You’re a whore.” But Natalie’s life is not nearly as together as it appears. In fact, her marriage with Henry is hanging by a thread, and she’s being visited by the ghost of an ex-boyfriend who claims she owes him money. Meanwhile, it turns out that the married man Celeste is having an affair with is Henry’s idol, Sidney, a divorce lawyer with a pet theory that one partner in every marriage will be unfaithful, so it might as well be you.

Sardonic and caustic, Where’s my money ? vivisects the institution of marriage with Shanley’s inimitable razor-sharp wit.
