Versona Persona – Out of bounds – A Foul Play

In out of bounds, we explore the raw, often uncomfortable terrain of men navigating midlife crises, set against the backdrop of fleeting connections with women half their age. The story is a candid portrait of masculine vulnerability, societal expectations, and the quest for meaning in an era where roles and relationships are rapidly shifting. Through humor, conflict, and moments of genuine introspection, the play examines how men—faced with aging, unfulfilled desires, and the pressure to perform—grapple with their own morality and identity.

By immersing audiences in the lives of these characters, the play invites reflection on the universal struggle to reconcile youthful dreams with the realities of middle age. It challenges us to consider the consequences of seeking validation outside oneself, while also offering a compassionate look at the loneliness and longing that often drive such behavior. Ultimately, this is a 

—a dynamic fraught with power imbalance and unspoken consequences. The play aims to illuminate not only the men’s internal struggles, but also the ways their choices can be deeply unsettling, even predatory, for the younger women. Through honest dialogue and unflinching moments, we confront the audience with the reality that what is often dismissed as a “midlife crisis” can be deeply damaging, forcing us all to question the morality behind these relationships and the societal norms that enable them.
