Three breathless brides rush onto a stage which is carpeted with pink wrestling mats (for good reason, as we shall see), wearing white gowns and backpacks and one of them immediately jumps out of her clothes and into a bath. [...] Before the nuptials are concluded we get a food fight, an orgy and bloody murder.

The happily-ever-after ending threatens to define the bigness of the play’s title as universality. Fortunately, Waters’s absurd curtain call upsets the security of that resolution. The cast, mostly brides and grooms still splattered with blood and wedding cake, take their bows while lip-synching and dancing to Prince’s “Kiss.”
