Perfect Arrangement blends classic sitcom humor with gripping drama, inspired by the true story of the early gay rights movement. Set in 1950s America, two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, are tasked with exposing “sexual deviants” within their ranks. The twist? They are both gay and have strategically married each other’s partners to maintain their cover.
As tensions rise and their carefully crafted façade begins to crack, laughter gives way to raw emotion. This compelling play sheds light on the hidden struggles of LGBTQ+ individuals during the Red Scare, forcing two “All-American” couples to confront their reality. Perfect Arrangement is a bold, thought-provoking story about secrecy, identity, and the fight for authenticity in a time of oppression.
