This video documents Split Britches' show "The Anniversary Waltz." A celebration of Lois and Peggy's 10-year relationship, created 15 years before the debate on gay marriage, it is a commentary on the tendency to couple and a critique on the institution of marriage. At the same time it is a tribute to long term relationships sustained through creative work and an appropriation of the "husband-and-wife team" identities represented in vaudeville variety acts, comedy duos and musical duets.
