Ehekracher

The house sells it as an explosive comedy and the title is a compound that means roughly a marital blow-up. Where its companion piece takes the long view of a silver wedding, this one is the argument itself: the shorter fuse, the row that everybody in the audience has had some version of, played close enough that laughing is a form of confession. Marriage is a repeat subject in Galli's evening programme, this one and its companion piece both built around it, in a house that spends its afternoons on fairy tales.
