Emma has told herself that she is perfectly happy being “the other woman”. She understands very well that Jacob needs to stay in his marriage, with responsibility for children and family, while at the same time she is convinced that their relationship is actually his primary one. When she suddenly realizes that Jacob also regularly dates other people, the top cap goes off big time!
We meet Emma just as she, under half-truthful pretexts, has managed to arrange a meeting with Jacob’s two other regular partners: Josna and Oscar. She is determined to tell them the truth so that they can then plan the only reasonable thing together: REVENGE!
Where Did All the Sensible Straight Men Go? is a chamber opera thriller in Swedish about love, betrayal and revenge that asks the question we all want answered: Why are relationships so damn hard?
