The Marriage of Bette and Boo is often considered playwright Christopher Durang’s most autobiographical work. A tale of marital discord and alcoholism, the dark comedy reflects certain aspects of Durang’s own childhood. “The play ‘feels’ autobiographical, I rather assume,” Durang wrote in his notes for the play, “and it would be disingenuous to pretend that the characters of Bette and Boo do not in many significant ways reflect my parents’ lives. Many of the surrounding characters and events are indeed fictionalized, but there is a core to the play that is pretty much rooted in my past.”
