In the New York premiere of Jordan Harrison's play Maple And Vine, "The thing to remember is that the 1950's weren't in black and white."  Katha and Ryu have become allergic to their 21st-century lives.  After they meet a charismatic man from a community of 1950s re-enactors, they forsake cell phones and sushi for cigarettes and Tupperware parties. 

In this compulsively authentic world, Katha and Ryu are surprised by what their new neigbors--and they themselves--are willing to sacrifice for happiness.
