About the show~
Emily is searching for her soulmate. When a Burning Man fling turns out to be the love of her life, she thinks she's found her happy ending. But her paramour doesn't pine for monogamy. Can polyamory save their romance? Is it possible to be monogam-ish? #WWDSD? What would Dan Savage do? Lust & Marriage is an honest and intimate comedy that explores the complexities of marriage, and what happens when two become three. Or four....

Critical Praise~
Engrossing.... O'Brien recounts it all with verve and zip and generous heaps of humor... With a presence that's sympathetic and engagingand a refreshing lack of preachinessO'Brien poses questions that transcend her particular experiences. And it's that ability, even as she's describing a threesome with her husband or a near-epileptic fit at an ayahuasca retreat, that makes this show stick.
