-I kept reading and reading until the next thing I knew, there were tears in my eyes, a stupid smile on my face, and the clock read far after midnight.-

Hilarious, surprising and deeply moving. Out of Play explores themes of grief, loss and letting go.
Gillian is stuck in a humdrum marriage and is at a loss on how to fix it. Her husband regularly ditches her for weekend adventures participating in Live Action Role-Play, otherwise known as Larp.
With tensions running high, Gillian seeks professional advice. She is surprised when her therapist encourages her to try larp. -Who knows? It may make you smile. It may make you laugh. It may even improve your sex life. How terrible could it be?-
Gillian is skeptical, yet decides to give it a go. If larp doesn't work a marital miracle, Gillian can walk away knowing she tried everything before giving up on her dysfunctional marriage.
Will going on a role-play adventure heal Gillian's marriage, or will the game shed light on everything that is wrong?
