The Qualms

I went to see The Qualms this past weekend at the Steppenwolf Theater and  I enjoyed the play. It centered around a recently married couple who agree to attend a swingers' party at the home of another couple they met previously in Cabo. The married couple had never participated in anything like this before and, lo and behold, chaos ensues! The dialogue was sharp and the playwright, Bruce Norris, does a great job of showing the angst of white, middle-class
Americans who aren't as liberal and progressive as they claim to be. He dealt with this also in his Tony-award winning play Clybourne Park (that I also saw and enjoyed).
