Kitty is determined to secure a husband in her dashing but penniless childhood friend. But when her brother’s fiancée mysteriously breaks off their engagement, Kitty’s plans to capture a suitor of her own are thrown off course. Forced to confront the rigid expectations placed upon her, she schemes to restore order and ensure everyone gets their happily ever after. As romantic entanglements unravel and betrayals come to light, The Betrothed queers the classic marriage plot, satirizing power, ambition, and resistance with theatrical excess and spectacle. This is not your typical rom-com.
