AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A wildly absurd coming of age story about the sexual awakening of two very different sisters. Two sisters, Pauline and Bianca, are on the verge of adulthood. Bianca is betrothed to a boy and the preparations for her imminent wedding send the girls into a flurry of excited confusion. With the adult world swelling around them, Pauline and Bianca respond in wildly different ways to the strange discoveries they are making about the mysterious business of sex. "Mariage Blanc" (referring to an unconsummated marriage) is a surreal coming of age story; a fairytale for adults and a poetic collage of ideas and images. At once comic and sad, absurd and profound, this exceptional play is an exploration of why being a woman in 1890 or 2012 sometimes sucks, and why being a man isn't much better.'
