Two's company, but is three in a bed better?
AS we Irish well know, troikas can be heaven or they can be hell. But they can also be potentially explosive, and that was a reason why Irish playwright, Mark Cantan, choose the appeal of a threesome for a couple whose sex life has dulled, as the theme of his new play, Jezebel, currently touring Ireland.
He had other reasons, as well, of a more technical variety: “Difficult, complex situations suit the farcical nature of my writing,” he explains. “By adding a third person to the equation, you get more lines of communication and more confusion. Rather than a two-way street, you have a triangle; one that brings lies spinning out of control.”
