Behind Closed Doors

After years of building a life together, Tunde and Mimi return home from what should be one of the happiest nights of their marriage. The champagne is flowing, the music is playing, and for a brief moment they feel like the couple they used to be. Then a phone rings. What follows is one long, unpredictable night in which jokes turn into jabs, old wounds reopen, and the things couples usually keep behind closed doors are finally said out loud. Money, family, ambition, intimacy, sacrifice, pride and the people who always seem to have an opinion on your marriage all come under fire. Funny, sharp and painfully familiar, Behind Closed Doors is an intimate two-hander about two people who love each other deeply but have forgotten how to reach each other. It is a play about marriage in all its messiness—the laughter, the resentment, the tenderness and the question every long-term couple eventually has to confront: when life changes you, can love still find its way back?
