"I want a relationship where we love and support each other without having to judge every minute whether or not we deserve it." That's a line of dialogue from the new play "UNZIPPED.""UNZIPPED" is a performance piece about men and their relationships."UNZIPPED." What happens when you don't love each other anymore? How do you deal with friendships that become toxic? What frightens men? Are men romantic? Is it all about sex? Is it money? Power? How do women's actions impact men's decisions? Is fatherhood an unrealistic expectation? What's up with fishing? How do two men carve out a relationship without competition? What obligations do men have to each other? To women? To the earth? To their beliefs? Why the sports bar? What happens when friends with benefits becomes friends with expectations? Real situations. Raw words. Straight / Gay / Men / Women. Real people saying real things about real problems and real successes. "UNZIPPED."
