A delightful play that will keep you engaged and smiling the entire time!‘The Bed” by Author Nikos Vlachos is truly a wonderful work of literature that swept me away in a unique and original fashion. I’m not usually a fan of reading plays, but the title was enticing and well I thought I should give it try. I’m happy to report that it was a delightfully pleasant, written in a fast-paced manner that had me contemplating my own crazy and hectic life. Chicago plays as the backdrop for this story, along with the nostalgic feeling of love, romance, fame and struggle..Main characters Sara and Joe are developed lovely with a deep POV that has you placed in the center of their marriage life. At first Joe struggles and then after a life-changing event his carrier is set on the fast track path that gives him power and fame. Everything collides on an astounding scale, placing the life of a married man on the back burners. The end is truly heartfelt and in many ways teaches us the importance of sharing a life together with the person you love. I was able to put it down in one sitting and thought it was a fabulous read that every couple will enjoy.
