Misalliance presents a lively social comedy that unfolds within a prosperous household where contrasting ideals of love, marriage, and independence collide. The story centers on a prosperous family enjoying a quiet weekend that quickly turns into a battle of wits and perspectives when guests with conflicting beliefs arrive. Through spirited exchanges and ironic situations, the play examines ideas of class privilege, gender expectations, and personal freedom. As conversations reveal insecurities and ambitions, each individual confronts their own limitations within the social order. The arrival of unexpected visitors, including one quite literally falling from the sky, disrupts conventional harmony and forces everyone to reconsider their assumptions about propriety and affection. What begins as light banter evolves into an examination of how society defines worth, compatibility, and courage in human connection. With its layered humor and philosophical undertones, the play offers a vivid commentary on shifting social values and the uneasy tension between tradition and self-determination.
