Marv & Ev
Written by Jason Long
April 27 - May 15, 2027
A hilarious, contemplative love story between old friends.
Marv and Ev have shared half a life together. But even now, in their 70s, there are still things that remain unsaid between them. Marv, a nervous man with a big heart, and Ev, a guarded woman with a surly demeanor, are fishing in the waters off the west coast when things take a turn for the strange. Soon they are alone on the water, until they are visited by a mysterious stranger. Part buddy comedy and part Twilight Zone episode, Marv & Ev is a heartfelt celebration of life and death.
Marv & Ev was workshopped at Lunchbox Theatre’s Stage One festival in 2025, and received high praise from workshop attendees.
