RQS and I went to The Play That Goes Wrong this past Sunday, and there was no way either of us could hold in our laughter - The play was hilarious. I had seen this play before as part of the "20 at 20" Off-Broadway theater promotion, and knew that RQS would love it - and she did.

A while back, I was hunting for an appropriate Christmas present to give RQS. Both of our apartments are overloaded with stuff we don't need. I knew that buying objects for her gift could be counter productive for our long term needs. But buying experiences might be the thing that would make her happy and help continue bonding us together. So I took advantage of a deal offered online, and bought tickets for a performance we could go to in January.
This weekend rolled around, and so did theater time. So I drove down to RQS's place to spend Saturday night, in order to have an easy trip to the theater. One problem - the bitter chill in the air. Yet, we caught a bus without much waiting, and made it into the city an hour before showtime. Luckily, we were able to find a place in the theater where we could sit down and wait until showtime.
The show opened up with two "stage hands" recruiting an audience member to help them set up the stage. I told RQS that this was part of the show, and to keep an eye on everything going on from that point. After the audience member was sent back to his seat, the show (and its mayhem) began. I knew that this was the perfect gift for RQS, as she was continuously laughing for most of the next two hours.
All too soon, the play had to end and we had to go home. If this play is professionally staged near you, I strongly suggest that you see it. It will be worth the effort.
