An incisive and witty satire, Boston Marriage highlights both repressed desire and class hostility while it debunks Victorian pretensions and hypocrisies. Mixed with humour and nuance, it aligns with a thoroughly Wildean world as it explores the negotiations, conflicts, compromises and reconcilations that arise - with hilarious outcomes.
