Renaissance Theaterworks has provided for auction four ticket vouchers that entitle the bearer(s) to attend any performance of its production of Honour by playwright Joanna Murray-Smith running from March 23 to April 15, 2012.

After 32 years of marriage, George and Honor have achieved it all: the successful marriage, the family, the house, the garden. They’re a golden couple and what’s more, they’re still desperately in love. Honor--beautiful, intelligent and a promising writer in her youth--has been fulfilled by a life spent caring for her family and supporting George while he carved out a brilliant career in academia. Together the couple have weathered hard times, their lives becoming inextricably intertwined. However, Honor is to learn of the appalling fragility of love when George, enchanted by a stunning, young journalist, abandons both his wife and his marriage.

The tale is a familiar one--it’s Nero and Poppea, Clinton and Lewinski--yet Joanna Murray-Smith’s fiercely intelligent play imbues it with freshness and insight. With extraordinary wit and great compassion, she questions the very nature of love: does it inevitably erode over time? Can it endure the terrible dichotomy between passion and perseverance?
