Is a lie always a lie? Can it be a defense against hurting another person? Can it be a means to ensure the greater good? Married couple, Kate and Ben, she a workaholic ethics professor and he an unemployed programmer, have invented the perfect game for getting to the truth and nothing but the truth. 鈥淪ecret hour,鈥� is their time to share only the truth and no lies. When an automobile accident unexpectedly reveals Kate鈥檚 deepest and darkest secret, her marriage spins out of control.
Jenny Stafford鈥檚 play, winner of the 2021 Next Act! New Play Summit, is a delicious adult puzzle about sex, lies, and the games we play to keep life moving along on cruise control and what happens when the forces of the universe鈥� or at least human nature鈥� make sure we take the wheel and keep our eyes on the very bumpy road ahead!
