Open , a play by Christopher Adams and Timothy Allsop, is a frank, refreshing romance that draws on interviews, conversation and private correspondence to explore the authors' real-life open marriage. It was first performed as part of the 2019 VAULT Festival, London. Also available in the collection Plays from VAULT 4 .
This quasi-play (more like a duologue) is actually co-written and was performed by Adams and his husband, Timothy Allsop, and details their negotiation through a decade long romance in an 'open' relationship and eventual marriage. As such, it's a bit solipsistic, and also suffers a bit from being overly 'generic' - there have been lots of 'tell-alls' about such relationships, and this one follows the same parameters as most of them. Still, entertaining, and with a refreshing touch of wit.
