Co-created by Lucky Plush artistic director Julia Rhoads and theater director and 500 Clown co-founder Leslie Danzig, The Better Half is a spin-off of the psychological thriller Gaslight. Launching from this classic story, layers of fiction and reality accumulate, revealing the elusive boundaries between self and character, actual and scripted relationships, and life and borrowed plotlines. The result is a fresh and immediate work that captures the claustrophobia and escapist tendencies in contemporary marriage through a complex and evocative dance-theater language that is funny, emotional, and surprising.
