The Playwrights' Theatre of East Hampton at LTV Studios in Association with The Actors Studio Drama School will present “Five Times in One Night” by Chiara Atik from Wednesday, December 4, through Saturday, December 7, at 7:30 p.m.

In this comedic quintet, five couples explore the delights and disappointments of their sex lives. Whether they are the first two people on Earth or the last two, modern partners with shifting needs, exes on the eve of a life-altering event, or 12th-century pen pals, following those most natural desires uncovers truths about their humanity. Altogether, “Five Times in One Night” is a hilarious examination of intimacy through the ages.
