Realistic
Themes of love, marriage and faith twine through a tragicomic celebration of marriage that starts in Puerto Rico and ends 38 years later in America: not just the happily-ever-after part, but the mingled fondness and regret that can hold a couple together when passion fades.

"After a scathing review 15 years ago, a once-celebrated painter faded into impoverished obscurity. Can one chance encounter resurrect this volatile artist from obscurity and re-launch him to overnight success? Theresa Rebeck skillfully compares the gritty urban realities of lives lived on the edge with the capricious intrigues of the uptown gallery scene where fame might just be a matter of who you know and reputations can be bought and sold." - Playwright's website
