A couple struggles through their unhappy marriage in this dark
science-fiction comedy. Claire and Mark are in the doldrums of an
unhappy marriage. She doesn t get out of her bathrobe and
chain-smokes while slumped on the couch. Mark has lost track of the
days and can t get the kids to school on time. They ve lost
interest in family and have pizza and Chinese food delivered every
night. Mark sleeps on the couch and has trouble remembering his son
s name. He feels like a fraud at work but somehow succeeds. Claire
stalks an ex-boyfriend. How could he have left her to this life?
Claire and Mark are both plagued by the idea that this is all a
dream. Didn t they have different lives? When reports of an
imminent nuclear war come on the radio, the truth begins to dawn on
them: This is not the life they chose. Why Don t You Love Me? is a
pitch-black comedy about marriage, alcoholism, depression, and
mourning lost opportunities. Paul B. Rainey has created a
hilariously terrifying alternate reality where confusion and pain
might lead people to make bad choices but might also eventually led
to freedom . . . maybe.
