One love affair causes havoc between three couples in the William Woods University production of "How the Other Half Loves."

The play explores the married lives of the seemingly perfect Frank and Fiona Foster and the constantly bickering Bob and Teresa Phillips. Fiona and Bob are in the middle of a love affair, which causes them to come home around 2 a.m. one night.

As each faces questions from their significant others, the Fiona and Bob cover their tracks with fabrication. Fiona tells her husband, Frank, she stayed up late talking to Mary Detweiler about Mr. Detweiler's affair. Bob told his wife, Teresa, a similar story.

Throughout the play, Fiona and Bob attempt to keep their lies secret as Frank and Teresa try to bring the broken Detweiler marriage back together.

"How the Other Half Loves" premieres 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26 inside Dulany Auditorium. The play continues until March 1.
