THE WAY WE GET BY

About the show

The Way We Get By is a two-character Off-Broadway play by Neil LaBute that explores the awkward, 90-minute morning-after following a drunken hookup at a wedding. The show tackles modern themes of love, lust, and how societal expectations impact young couples. Beth and Doug attend the same drunken wedding reception and end up sleeping together. The play unfolds in real-time as they wake up with hangovers, facing the awkward reality of what happened and deciding whether to pursue a relationship or part ways.
