Stephen Plunkett and Maureen Sebastian play historical reenactors at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, adrift in midtwenties life crises, in Carly Mensch's delightfully quirky relationship comedy. Mensch clearly has a sharp ear for dialogue, honed by writing for TV's Weeds, and Plunkett and Sebastian (directed by Jason Eagan) give superb performances, mining the text for every possible joke.—Paul Menard
