And so yes, well, I'd simply dropped that whole idea of being a good person, I'd dropped it right down into some hole in the street, and down it had gone into the city's sewers, and no one ever saw it again.
Set in a rather privileged world of intelligent and gentle people, a father, mother, son and the father's long-time mistress tell the intimate story of their lives. Wallace Shawn, a student of morality whose plays have brought us frank truths about politics and sexuality, here takes on the subject of love - suffocating and freeing. Remorse, resentment, joy and sorrow play out against the background of a pleasurable and sophisticated but violent city.
'We don't understand ourselves, and we don't know why we do what we do. Ideally, then, dangerous weapons should be kept out of our hands at all times, but in romantic, sexual, and familial relationships we carry the weapon of our own feelings strapped to our chests whether we like it or not.' Wallace Shawn
What We Did Before Our Moth Days premiered at the Greenwich House Theater, New York, in March 2026.
