If Neil Simon and Noel Coward could have written a play together, this would be it. In this bromantic ​farce, Richard and Dick, both former husbands to the same woman, became best friends when Mavis abruptly abandoned Richard for yet another man. When a desperate Mavis crashes her stepdaughter's wedding, demanding Richard finalize the divorce papers so she can remarry again, they find themselves dodging the emotions, loyalties and dueling agendas of the wedding party, their ex-wife AND her new beau, and one snarky butler. A satire that takes place in one day, The Exes is alternately irreverent, ridiculous and tender — reminding audiences why marriage makes strange bedfellows.
