Boyfriends are armchairs. Lovers are lampshades. The ex you can't get over is a futon you can't quite fold back into place. In Furniture Boys, writer and performer Emily Weitzman conjures an absurd, hilarious and unexpectedly moving world where relationships are reimagined through the objects we live with - and leave behind.

Blending spoken word, comedy, clowning, documentary and oral history, the show is set in surreal landscape where Weitzman's exes are furniture and her memories a cluttered storage room. Comparing boys to ottomans and sofa-beds proves as ridiculous as it is revealing. What begins as pure playful absurdity evolves into a layered exploration of love, loss, and impermanence, exemplified by a beloved broken chair Weitzman can't quite bring herself to part with.

With a feminist lens and an inventive structure, Furniture Boys asks what we hold onto, what we discard and what we might try to repair. This production identifies that what we seek in a partner isn't unlike what we need from our furniture: sturdiness and softness, stability and support, endurance and the hope of repairing what's broken.

Written and performed by Emily Weitzman and directed by Kate Doyle, Furniture Boys originated as part of the Lighthouse Series, SoHo Playhouse's new work festival, where it was selected by the theater as a finalist in 2024.
