Introduction: The Drama of Marriage -- Carpenter and Wilde: Ideal and Real Marriages -- Interlude: Marie Stopes and Modern Marriage -- Somerset Maugham's Inconstant Spouses -- Noel Coward and Terrence Rattigan: Love or Marriage -- Emlyn Williams: Growing Into Marriage -- Clyde Fitch and George Kelly: Spunky American Wives and Domestic Monsters -- 1950s Marriages Sweet and Sour: Tennessee Williams and William Inge -- 'To the Death': Edward Albee's Chronicles of Marriage -- Epilogue: Gay Marriage.

In studying performances of marriage in modern and contemporary British and American drama, Clum highlights the fact that - paradoxically - at a time when theatre was both popular entertainment and high culture, many of the most commercially and artistically successful plays about marriage were written by homosexual men. Beginning with Oscar Wilde and focusing on some of the most successful British and American playwrights of the past century, including Somerset Maugham, Noel Coward, Terence Rattigan, and Emlyn Williams in England and Clyde Fitch, George Kelly, Tennessee Williams, William Inge, and Edward Albee in the US, The Drama of Marriagelooks at how the plays they wrote about heterosexual marriage continue to impact contemporary gay playwrights and the depiction of marriage today.
