| | Theatre Review: A Boston Marriage at the Burton-Taylor Theatre, Oxford |
 | | Boston Marriage, by David Mamet, is currently showing at the Burton Taylor theatre (running at approximately 90 minutes, without interval). |
 | | For those of you not intimately familiar with turn of the century American slang, a "Boston Marriage" is a particular sort of sometimes-but-not-always sexual cohabitation between two women, which was presumably particularly common in and around Boston at the time in which the play is set. |
 | | They develop as the play progresses, and while you can't shake the feeling that they are, on some level, not particularly nice people, they reveal so many faults and frailties that you have to want the best for them. |
