Maple and Vine


Mainstage Theater


Written by Jordan Harrison
Directed by Anne Kauffman

Katha and Ryu have become allergic to their 21st-century lives. After they meet a charismatic man from a community of 1950s reenactors, they forsake cell phones and sushi for cigarettes and Tupperware parties. In this compulsively authentic world, Katha and Ryu are surprised by what their new neighbors—and they themselves—are willing to sacrifice for happiness.

Reviews
  • “Goodbye feminism, lattes and the Internet! Hello, rigid gender roles, Sanka and rotary phones! Jordan Harrison’s MAPLE AND VINE has one of the most intriguing premises of the year.”

    — Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post
  • “A clever, sharply drawn fantasy with brightly saturated comic performances. Makes a sneaky, compelling case for the seductions of living the Ozzie and Harriet life. A sleek production directed by Anne Kauffman.”

    — Charles Isherwood, New York Times
