Adapted for the stage by () and directed by Mindy Cooper, the mixture of standup comedy and theatre is described thus in press materials: "Actor/comedian, Peter Story shares the story of a man who has resisted the advice of 'Men are from Mars鈥揥oman are from Venus' for years, but a chance meeting with the man himself, John Gray, changed everything. Now Peter imparts his experience with the book and his relationship in this uproarious 90-minute show that covers everything from dating to marriage to the bedroom! Commenting on the show, Peter said, 'It's a great recipe for a night out: a little storytelling blended with some comedy and a dash of sage wisdom from the book.'"
