Two Spoons
Finalist for the Saints and Sinners Literary Festival
“I give Two Spoons two thumbs way up!” — HX Magazine
“The script is wonderfully literate...Mercurio’s dialogue is so polished that you can’t help but enjoy it for its efficiency and intelligence. You also have to like his many story-telling devices…” — Creative Loafing
“Mercurio’s new comedy has real insights into gay marriage…” — TimeOut Chicago
All Steve and Larry wanted from their weekend getaway to Philadelphia was a break from their daily routine and the responsibilities of being parents to an active tantrum-throwing toddler. But when they meet some “other guy” at the hotel, temptation strikes and threatens to fracture their relationship. What had begun as an innocent, quiet, relaxing trip somehow turns into a quest to redefine the rules of their relationship. Can they ever return to normal again in order to keep their family intact?
TWO SPOONS delves into the delicate balance between independence and commitment, freedom and responsibility, and fantasy and reality.
